In this activity, you will explore how different influences shape

your thoughts and behaviors by creating "trade-off" questions


that ask someone to choose between two influences, such as
school vs. family or television vs. peers. Think about the
potential benefits and drawbacks of each choice to highlight
what might be gained or lost. Once you’ve created your
questions, lay them on the floor and imagine walking through
the choices, considering the different outcomes or
consequences of each option. Finally, discuss with your
classmates how each option could impact identity,
relationships, and perspectives.
My students developed their logical thinking skills through
engaging with tangram puzzles. They also recognized the
crucial role of family as a primary agent of socialization.
Additionally, they demonstrated empathy while learning about
Anna's story, which helped them understand that an unwanted
child can be a consequence of rushed family planning, such as
teenage pregnancy.
By reflecting on these lessons, they began to appreciate the importance of thoughtful decision-making and the impact it has on individuals and communities. Our discussions
extended to the value of education and communication in fostering strong relationships and creating supportive environments for all family members.
We also explored how societal norms and values shape our understanding of family and responsibility. Through group projects and open dialogues, the students gained a deeper
awareness of the interconnectedness of their actions and the well-being of others. They learned that empathy, careful planning, and mutual respect are key components in building a
compassionate and responsible society.
As they progressed, the students expressed a desire to take what they had learned beyond the classroom. They initiated community service projects, aimed at supporting families in
need and raising awareness about the importance of responsible family planning. These efforts not only reinforced their learning but also instilled a sense of civic duty and the power
of collective action.
In essence, their journey through logical thinking, empathy, and social responsibility equipped them with valuable life skills and a resilient moral compass. They emerged as
thoughtful, engaged citizens, ready to contribute positively to their communities and beyond.
In what situations might peer
influence be more beneficial
or more harmful than
guidance from adults or
institutions like schools?
How might the teachings of your
religious beliefs provide a stronger
sense of community or purpose
compared to the values offered by
peers or mass media? What might
you lose or gain by following one
over the other?
Imagine you could only rely on
either social media or traditional
mass media (like news outlets, TV,
and newspapers) to form your
understanding of the world and
shape your opinions. Which would
you choose, and why?
If you had to choose between being
primarily influenced by social
media or by your family in
shaping your attitudes, beliefs, and
behaviors, which would you choose,
and why?
If you had to choose between being
primarily influenced by social
media or by your family in
shaping your attitudes, beliefs, and
behaviors, which would you choose,
and why?
How do the influences of
school and family differ in
shaping your identity, and
what are the trade-offs
between relying on one over
the other?
How do the influences of the
government and mass media
differ in shaping public attitudes
and behaviors, and what are the
trade-offs between relying more
on one over the other?
Reflecting on your own life
experiences, identify the top 3
agents of socialization that have
had the greatest impact on you.
Place these agents on a continuum
from most to least influential and
explain your reasoning behind this
ranking.
