Activity 8: Peer Pressure

Thinking about what they said

Some of the statements from the sources you read earlier have been reproduced in the chart below. 

This task gets you thinking about whether you understand how the media can influence people.

Next to each statement, put a number to show if you understand how each statement can be true.


 1 = I understand totally how this can be true
 
 2 = I am beginning to understand how this can be true
 
 3 = I do not understand at all how this can be true
 


 


Statement 
 

     
My understanding 
   

 
“Everybody thought the same”
 		  
 
“You were in a big team and
you didn’t separate from the group” 
 		  
 
“We were the followers” 
 		  
 
“An old Jew fell down…they all
laughed”
 		  

  • Discuss your answers with others in your group explaining your choices.
