Journey Into Imagination

Lesson Reflection 7: Think about a community in which you are a member for instance, your school, religious community, family or group of friends. What are some of the most important rules in that community? Are these rules written down? What are the most important unwritten rules, those not written down but which everyone knows about? The community that I am thinking of is in my family. The most important is that we respect one another, manners are important, no rude or disrespectful actions. All these rules are not written down. The most important rule that is not written down is the rule whereby we have to respect one another. This rule is really important because it disrespecting someone shows your identity to someone. It shows that you were not brought up in a proper way. What pivotal choices that you have made in your life or an experience you have had that was influenced by the settings. What other options might have been available to you if you lived in a different place...

Lesson Reflection 6: Reflect upon Eve Shalen's quotation, "Often being accepted by others is more satisfying than being accepted by oneself even though the satisfaction does not last." What does this mean to you? Does this happen in your life too? Explain. The quote means that you would change yourself just to be accepted in a certain group or society. This basically means that you would allow someone to change your identity. For example, your personality, characteristics and so on. This has not happened to me before as I would rather join a group which I am comfortable with and not a group which is judgemental about whom I really am.  How might our need to belong affect how we treat those who do not belong to the "in" group? We would follow what majority of the group has to say about someone. Sometimes, we might even hurt someone's without even knowing because you wouldn't notice that you are doing something wrong as everyone around you are...

Lesson Reflection:  Define stereotypes, explain the consequences of stereotyping and what can we do. What is stereotypes? Stereotypes are basically a set idea that people have about what someone or something is like, especially an idea that is wrong. Consequences of stereotyping Stereotyping can bring down one's self-confidence. It can become a distraction and interference for some people and it can make someone upset. Stereotyping can also depress someone's work performance. What can we do? We can remove the extra pressure from the person and tell the person that the stereotypes that people say about is actually fake.

Lesson Reflection: Share your memory map online. After watching Margot Stern Strom's reflection on growing up in the south, write a short summary of the video of about 120 words. My Memory Map 1. The first day I came to WMSI(I) (13 years old) 2. The moment when I was voted as the monitor of the class (13 years old) 3. The time when I was changed into another school (10 years old) 4. The year which I was picked as a prefect ( 12 years old) 5. The day which I was introduced to model kit building (7 years old) 6. The moment when I was shown the first magic trick ( ???) Reflection on the video From the video, I found out that people during the 1950s mis-treated out people who are not their own race. The "coloured" people were treated worst than the "non-coloured". The people who are "non-coloured" had better rights. They had better jobs and they always think that they are always above any other people. The "coloured" people had le...
