Discussion Forum Reflection:
Over the course of the semester, we covered several topics that focused on different areas and aspects of family. Each topic required us to complete a discussion post where we would use the information we have learned in class and critically analyze and apply it to real-world situations. The discussion forums also allowed us to learn about other student’s perspectives and allow us to see the diversity of experiences with families.

Something that I saw in almost every forum post and my own was that “Sharia Law has too many variations” (Fisher, 2017), it was interesting to see this commonality among the forum posts. As I did not know much about Sharia law beforehand I cannot say that my ideas changed but I think I strongly stand by my opinion that Sharia law should not be created into Canadian law. Christine Fisher’s post stood out to me, “The Sharia law of Islam looks at homosexuals and woman as second-class citizens with severe punishments and life of fear” (Fisher, 2017). Her post highlighted the differences between Canadian and Sharia beliefs and solidified my opinion against Sharia Law in
