Agency is the concept of taking action or having the
influence or force to do something. After completing this week’s reading
assignments it has occurred to me that to be a good student you must have the
agency to develop important academic habits. I hope that I have such ability
and that I can become a better student by improving my study skills.
A new word I learned in Sociology this week is emotive. It means to cause
association with emotion. Sometimes people can use this kind of language in
their writing to cause certain emotions to arise in the readers mind.
Another word I learned is etymology which is the study of the origin and the history of
words. It can be interesting to unravel where certain words were derived from
and how their meanings have changed over time.
