On reflection..

I feel that this module has been an interesting one. It has allowed me to reflect on different aspects of people's bad behaviour and search for reasons for such actions, especially in relation to my own subject, psychology.

Some areas covered on the module are considered bad because they are illegal or there is scientific evidence that such behaviours are damaging to health. Despite this many people still continue to do these things, fully aware that what they are doing is 'wrong'. It seems that some of us are just attracted to things that we shouldn't do.

Other topics covered on the module pose more of a moral debate. Topics such as masturbation, abortion and sex before marriage are all open to subjectivity. There are some who believe that these things are wrong, and others who say that they are perfectly acceptable.

The world's population covers a diverse range of cultures and belief systems. We each have different views on what is right and wrong. I just think it makes things a little more interesting.
