Unit 1 Manhood and violence
Activity 1: Welcoming Activity
Hi
WELCOME to the 3rd module!
We’ll begin this first unit of the module, Manhood and Violence, trying to give some thoughts about this association, that surely you’ve heard before, between being a man and being violent.
Are men more violent than women? Are all men equally violent? What makes this violence emerge? Is this violence something in our DNA? Or it may be something we learn?…
Activity 2: Personal Heroes
But before we start, let’s think about our personal heroes
- Name a couple of them (minimum), or more, if you like.
- Think about someone you admire, or someone you’d like to be / you would have liked to be at some point of your life, someone you look up to…
- They can be real or fiction, “flesh and bones” people or not (cartoon/comic/robot…), alive or dead… Think big!
- And WHY?! …meaning what attributes, qualities make you like this person?
For example…
Name: Han Solo
Qualities I like:
Independent (c’mon his surname’s “Solo”) | Adventurous |
Smart | Funny |
Handsome (he gets Princes Leia) | Cool, supercool |
Fighter (fights Evil) | |
Pilot Skills (Millenium Falcon, best spaceship ever!) |
Another example…
Name: Harry Potter
Qualities I like:
Adventurous | Sensitive |
Intelligent | Fight his own fears |
Honest | Doesn’t follow the rules |
Magic | Fights Evil |
Funny |
