Hi readers. Sorry for the long gap in entries. My first module, DD101, Introduction to Social Sciences, ended in October, and the next one only began two weeks ago. I have been ill during this time, and began my reading of the new materials yesterday, and have almost caught up. This is not to say that I'm super absorbent, or that I have skimmed through the reading. It is more that the first week of a module is an introduction, and the 2nd is not overly stuffed with detail.
The new module is entitled DD202, Economics and Economic Change, and marks the beginning of my specialist studies. I was concerned on two fronts about this module. 1. That it would be boring beyond belief. 2. That I would not have an opportunity to write (what I consider) blog entries of interest to my enjoyment of both learning, and of having a right good rant about my political leanings. I am not always right, and at this time, I'm delighted to be wrong in my concerns. I have read the first chapter of the first (of two) textbooks, Microeconomics. Straight from the off the book speaks to theories on globalisation, of inequality, of ethics, and history. This writer is looking forward to spewing forth tidal waves of vitriol about all of these aspects of economics. Only, this time around, they will be informed by my studies of economic theory.
So, no rant on this occasion about my studies. Just an introduction, and a reminder that history repeats itself, and in so doing will give me the opportunity to express my views whilst studying the processes behind the events which shape them. My first Tutor Marked Assignment (hereafter, TMA) is due for submission on the 25th of March. I may write an entry before then, but will definitely have something to say at that point.
