SC1101E and then some... PS1101E actually...

right. so today was back-to-back lectures in LT 11. Soci and Political Science. so first up, Sociology...

so what did i learn from Sociology? that there are lots of different guys (like Marx and Parsons)... who have different views (only slightly) about Structural-Functional Theory (i can't believe i'm actually revising online. WTH). some i'm wondering... why am i studying this? apparently cos SC1101 is supposed to be interesting. Let's say i'll let you guys know what it's like at the end of the sem. there's stuff about Marx and some crazy stuff in the readings about Freud. but say what you like and if you think Sociology is common sense (it partially is), sometimes the obvious things (the ones that seemingly come so naturally) are the hardest to explain because we take for granted that they're so... self explanatory.

Political Science...

well. i'd have to say political science does have it's interesting aspects. power, legitimacy and authority? there's a thought... how one leads to the next. it's something to think about (then again isn't everything worth thinking about). and that without one the other cannot exist (properly anyway).

so that was my day (in school sense at least).

such is a day... in the diary of chris

Hi Chris. I took SC1101E as well and have the textbook. Do let me know if you want it, it is at home and I can let it go to you cheap. Thanks
