Electives

Chose my elective today for uni. Incase u dont know what it is neither do i really lol. But its basically an additional module yet compulsary in order to give you the correct amount of module points to pass the year.

I was torn between choosing a language; french or spanish, or politics. In the end i opted for politics although debating politics which looks quite interesting and is described as the following.

The issues discussed in this module will vary from year to year according to the topical issues of the day. An indication of topics for discussion are: Should smoking be banned (or my body my problem)? Same sex marriages/ adoption etc. Should we be free to make fun of/satirise religion? Should voting be compulsory? Should Britain join the Euro? Should the monarchy be abolished? Immigration/ asylum seekers - multiculturalism or integration? Terrorism vs. national security: an excuse for eroding human rights? Should the UK have invaded Iraq? Compare and contrast coverage of a political issue by the BBC and C4. Compare and contrast coverage of a political issue by the Guardian and the independent or times or telegraph. What role does political satire play in modern politics?

So ye im looking forward to that starting in semester two.
