Please reflect about this topic in about 250 words, which is about one double-spaced page.

This reflection is an opportunity to relate a concept to your personal experience or observations about a social issue. Thinking about how theories and concepts might apply to our own lives or culture is one of the absolute best ways to learn about sociology. I hope you find that the process of writing this reflection deepens your understanding of this module’s topics.
