This course has helped me get a better understanding of the concept of human behaviors and
relationships as well as how the world at large influences them. It has also facilitated my
understanding of self-relative to the environment. It has as well given me insights into my culture
as well as the culture of other people, their values and how they were generated. The theory on
conflict and the underlying concepts about ideology and power as well as how they are
constructed socially have enlightened me and equipped me with great knowledge to explain how
the social inequalities of social class, gender, ethnicity and age come about. Additionally, it has
equipped me with skills for solving problems and offering solutions that are sustainable to social
problems.
This course has also made me participate actively in group discussions and taught me how to
interpret domestic violence data best. Now, I am particularly interested in carrying out research
on why people in middle class are highly prone to domestic violence compared to those in higher
and lower social class. I highly thank my instructor for the support they have given me through
the course.
The evidence presented about such sociological studies have prompted policy makers, families,
communities, governments and other institutions to come up with strategies aimed at ensuring
girls are well educated. There is affirmative action which has ensured there is budgetary
allocation of funds by the government to help towards educating the girl child and there are
feminist organizations which are geared towards women liberalization from oppression by their
male counterparts. The UN statute also declared that every child has the right to education and
set up several strategies aimed at ensuring the girl child is retained in school.
As a sociologist, it is my responsibility to volunteer my services through social welfare activities
as well as non-governmental organizations to educate women regarding issues that affect them
and how to best turn their situations around. It is also important to offer teachings on safe
relationships and promote awareness regarding support agencies accessible to victims and the
abuser as well. The knowledge of social groups, the society, associations and institutions has
gone a long way to help me govern my own life effectively.
