Media Influences

LEARNING GOALS


Propose, practise and evaluate responses in situations where external influences may impact on their ability to make healthy and safe choices (ACPPS092)

  • critiquing images and messages in the media that portray what it means to have a good time and be fun to be around, and evaluating how these images can be interpreted
  • examining local fast-food options, making healthy selections and advocating healthy choices to peers
  • exploring external influences on sexuality and sexual health behaviours, and recognising the impact that decisions and actions can have on own and others’ health and wellbeing
  • evaluating the influence of personal, social, environmental and cultural factors on decisions and actions young people take in relation to their health, safety and wellbeing


ASSESSMENT (WEEK 7)

Do a very short 1-3 minute presentation on how an advert is designed to influence a young person to make an unhealthy choice.

Note how the advertisements usually do this by associating positive feelings with the product. (e.g. having fun when eating fast-food, drinking alcohol, deodorant etc.)

You will need to present the advertisement to the class and share your evaluation:
  1. What is the message/s?
  2. How could this message influence a person's choices?
  3. What ways could this affect a person's health?
  4. How can a person's 'personal' decision impact the health, safety and wellbeing of others (give some relevant examples)?
  5. What can help a person make healthy and safe choices even when they are surrounded by images / messages that promote unhealthy or risk-taking behaviour.
While the presentation is short - you will need to demonstrate that you have thought carefully, deeply and critically about each of the above questions.
