influences

Over the last couple of days we have been looking at, discussing, brainstorming, exploring and talking about influences.

• The effect of something on a person, thing, or event.
• The power that somebody has to affect other people’s thinking or actions by means of argument, example, or force of personality.

The questions which directed our thinking included:

• How do others influence who we are?
• How do we influence others? • How are you perceived?
• Do we make a conscious choice about who we are?
• Is image who we are?
• Can we really be ourselves?
• Be the best we can be?
• Are we true to ourselves (integrity)
• How do we stay true to ourselves in different situations

Throughout the lessons we looked for ways to extend our thinking. Questioning existing ideas and opinions, sorting information, grouping and analysing information as well as discussing and sharing.
