sociocultural – religion, parents/carers, family, media, culture, peers, language, politics
socioeconomic – education, income, employment
environmental – geographical location, access to health services.
Task 1 - See...think...wonder
Task 1 - See...think...wonder
Use the see, think, wonder table in the Worksheet- lesson one - what influences me? to record observations about your influences.
See – what do you notice about each contextual factor? For example, I am impacted mostly by socio-cultural factors. You may wish to consider why this is the case.
Think – which of the four contextual factors is highlighted the most on your sheet? Why do you think this is the case?
Wonder – how would these influences change if you were dealing with another world issue. For example, climate change, educational inequality or mental health concerns.
Consider your greatest influence now during the COVID-19 world issue.
Predict if this would be the same influence for another emerging world issue that impacts young people? Why or why not? Give reasons for your answer in at least one paragraph.
