Education is one of agents of socialisation within our society. It is secondary socialisation, a bridge between primary socialisation (family) and society where it teaches the relevant skills we need for surviving in the contemporary society: we need to be organised and work hard in workplace. (Parsons).

Previous researches have shown that many factors can influence student's academic achievement: Internal factors where factors from inside of a school such as institutional racism and external factors where factors from outside of school such as family attitudes.

Recent research have found our academic achievements are related to the place we are living in. (Please click HERE for more details)

Hence, the aims for this discussion are:

1. Identify two external factors and two internal factors that can influence academic achievements.
   
   
2. Read this article (BBC News: School Grades 'linked to where you live')
   
   a. Identify the method(s) they used. 
   
   b. Evaluate the method(s) they used and if possible, suggest an alternative method they can use for their investigation.

Original article: Learn a language in 2016--BBC News

According to Oxford Dictionaries, 'language' refers to:

• the method of human communication, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional way;
  
• the system of communication used by a particular community or country;
  
• the manner or style of a piece of writing or speech
  

Language is very important to us, because it is a way which we can use to interact with other human beings by expressing our emotions and thoughts through the use of words.

Thus, the aims of this discussion are:

1. How do you define language?
   
2. Do you think language is important, and why?
   
3. Should we learn more than one language? And why?
   

**You can use your own experiences or any relevant case studies to support your argument in your explanation.

If you are studying Psychology at university, no matter it is an undergraduate degree or postgraduate degree, you may need to know how to reference your work in the American Psychology Association (APA) reference format. 

The Learning Guide from APA's own website is this one, click Here

Or you can the APA Referencing Generator if you find the hyperlink (from above) difficult to understand or took a long time to read them all.

Recent research has found that "Groups that eat together perform better together." (You can find the full story in HERE)

 Even without this study being conducted, some of us actually find group work is quite useful. E.g. some of us may prefer revising with friends or classmates because we find it effective and motivated.

What is your view on team work or group working?

Black Friday is not only the symbol of bad luck, but also shopping day with discount in all shops. But before we make a shopping plan for next Friday, it could be more interesting to think that how Black Friday is constructed in modern society without traditional cultural based.
