Yes it is a good way to see what other students think is bad.

I think it is better to have two separate ones as it breaks it down a little

A great deal

Body modification because I heard about foot binding and the rings around the women’s necks but I didn’t know that it was a way of controlling them.
What parts do you think were a waste of time and why?
None

Are there any other comments you wish to make regarding ‘Being Bad’?
I think it is a great module and I have really enjoyed it and learnt a lot from it. I think being bad is not just what we consider as bad but we should see the outer picture of what it can lead to that I think is bad. For some people something might not be bad and for others it might which shows we all see it from different perspectives which is good. We all had a right to our opinion and we were able to express it which made this module great.
