Sociology Critical Reflection. Literature & Language Essay

How did you perform in our class this semester and what have you learned? Think back to the first post you made for this class, as well as the reflection you wrote at the midterm. Go back and read them over if that will help.
In lieu of a final exam, I would like you to write a critical reflection on your own learning process. Think of it as a self-assessment of the skills you have developed over the course of the semester. How well have you done? Have you been able to adequately incorporate a sociological perspective into your understanding of and experience of health and illness? These are the general questions under consideration. The paper will be 3-4 pages long, double-spaced with a 12 pt font.
Where are you now in your thinking about health and illness? Think back to the beginning of the course, as well as the midterm reflection. What were your preconceptions about health and illness when you wrote that first post to share with the class? Where were you at the midterm? How has the material we have studied over the past five weeks influenced or changed how you perceive or understand health and illness? What stands out in terms of specific revelations or shifts in your worldview? If nothing has changed, or you have not found the material compelling or persuasive, please take time to consider why that is the case. What could you do to get more out of the experience of our collective consideration of a sociological understanding of health and illness?
Of course, I mean to invoke your sociological imaginations to answer this question. But you can also report on any more personal changes (or lack thereof) to your understanding of what makes people sick or healthy in any particular society. After all, for me (for many sociologists) these realms are inextricably linked. Has your understanding of or experience of your own illness or that of someone you know changed as a result of your new grasp on a sociological analysis of health and illness? If so, feel free to reflect on this change in your essay.
This paper does not require research or formal citation. However, you should be specific in referencing course material and how it may have affected you or shifted your perspective on health and illness.
