Assessment Task:
Using the critical perspective, explore a category and seek out contradictions that will come out from your brainstorming. Then, deconstruct those findings and reconstruct them. Choose only one category among the choices. Remember to contextualize it in our setting, i.e., the Philippine setting.
1. Gender and sexuality
e.g. How does gender inequality affect men?
2. Race and ethnicity
e.g. How does globalization influence racial conflicts?
3. Class and workspace
e.g. How does the media reproduce poor people?
4. Religion and spirituality
e.g. Does religion divide us and cause violence today?
5. Aging and disability
e.g. Why is poverty prevalent among persons with disability?
If you're looking for a pattern to do, you may want to use this format:
Seeking Contradictions:
1. What is the issue at hand? How does the issue affect people's lives?
2. What is the dominant perspective on the issue? What is the oppressed perspective? Are there any other viewpoints that must be put on the table for discussion?
Creating New Constructive Thinking
3. Can you see the concept of hegemony playing in the issue? If not, why do you think so? If yes, how?
Creating New Constructive Actions
4. What can you do after seeing the contradictions?
