DD101 Introducing the Social Sciences - Week 4

The suggested time table for Week 4
     Introduction to Material Lives (45mins)
     Chapter 1 of Making Social Lives (7 hrs)
     Online Activities 5-8 (3 hrs)
     Preparing for Assignments (30 mins)
     Online Quiz: Making Social Lives, Ch 1 (15 mins)
To be completed by the 4th March

At last......this feels like the start of the course proper, and a complete change of pace regarding the course text that we have to read. While the first three weeks was pretty obvious stuff and not too taxing, this week has been far 'heavier' and a lot more notes have needed to be taken. I am beginning to believe that this course will require the full 12 hours a week.

This weeks reading was around consumerism, the consumer society, and the seduced and repressed within the consumer society, along with appropriate concepts and theories.
