[Noah Mozingo · Rating 1 out of 5]

Some things were good about this college textbook, and it has a lot of good information. However, it made Intersectionality THE definitive way to see society and achieve social wellness. That is why I give it 1 star.

This textbook had a lot of good points and views. Some of them however, were new to me. I was taught a certain way all through grade school, and this book taught otherwise in some aspects. Like when quality or quantity is one over the other, and when not to use thesaurus words/synonyms in your paper voice to sound like you know what you’re saying; that you will sound like you don’t know anything.

I found this strangely odd because I’ve always known not to repeat certain vocabulary, to use synonyms in your assignments; replace the over-used words. I guess quality over quantity amounts to some things in life, but when brainstorming its quantity of quality. It’s the many ideas you can put onto paper.

Those were the main points I found very different from before in my life. The rest of the book was fine, very knowledgeable.
