Conflicting PerspectivesWhat does it mean? When reflecting/researching related materials keep the following ideas in mind: • The ideas that are conveyed through the representation of the conflicting perspectives. • How conflicting perspectives are represented through an event, personality and/or situation. • How the act of representation – the form, medium of production and language - is shaped by the experiences, purpose and perspective of the composer.

Activity: Write down what YOU believe is the purpose of EDUCATION. Reflect on the viewing stimulus provided on the next slide. Has your perspective been re-shaped/altered/changed? How and why?
