Media as a Site of Joy, Pleasure, Connection, and Community

Posted on | by Kelvin

 

Describe Media can serve as a site of joy, pleasure, connection, or community, even while also producing inequalities.
I chose Media – The following institutions are
The family
Media
Medicine and Healthcare
The State and the Justice System
To conclude this module, I am asking you to choose one of the social institutions discussed in this chapter and describe how this institution can serve as a site of joy, pleasure, connection, or community, even while also producing inequalities.
You will compose a 2 page paper describing how your chosen social institution serves as a positive space and how this relates to the various identities and ideologies which inform that space. You should not avoid the more negative or unequal aspects of your chosen institution but rather discuss how they are happening alongside the positive aspects. You should be specific, so either discuss your own personal experiences in your chosen institution or do a small amount of research about an actual real-life example beyond your experience. For example, you might write about your own family, a specific magazine, or a specific healthcare clinic. You might write about your own work if it intersects with one of these institutions or your own personal experiences in your private life.

 

Values and practices of family, culture, and community.

Posted on | by

Every child grows and develops differently. Individual child outcomes are influenced by values and practices of family, culture, and community. It is important for teachers to understand these outcomes and know how to support the growing child and their families. Teachers need to develop an awareness of developmental milestones within the context of discussions with families, childcare providers, paediatricians, public health nurses, and other educators.

Use the “Developmental Readiness Template” to compile information in preparation for speaking to a family about their child’s readiness to enter a childcare facility. Within the template, describe young children’s typical and atypical behaviors, characteristics, and needs in relation to cognitive, linguistic, physical, social, and emotional needs from birth to age 4.

Include the following:

Description of one typical cognitive, linguistic, physical, social, and emotional milestone for children birth to age 4.
Descriptions of two atypical cognitive, linguistic, physical, social, and emotional milestones for children birth to age 4.
Two strategies, per developmental stage, for families – one addressing typical behaviors and one addressing atypical behaviors. Include at least one technological/digital resource for typical or atypical behaviors.
Support your assignment with five scholarly references.
