Social Influence

LI: To evaluate peer pressure, digital interactions and social influences

Today we got to do a DLO about social influence, social influence is when the people around us affect what we think, what we like, and what we do. Basically, the way we act and the choices we make can be influenced by other people. For example, we might do things just because we see others doing them or because society expects us to. This includes following rules that everyone else follows, listening to people in charge like teachers or bosses, and trying to fit in with friends or groups. Our opinions and habits can change because of what others say or do. So, social influence is all about how our environment and the people around us push us to behave and think in certain ways, often without us even realising it.

 

Dino Egg

  • Our challenge was to become a palaeontologist who uncovered a rare dinosaur egg fossil. We used Adobe Express to reimagine what a real find might look like. After a quick research challenge about habitat we used that information to create our image.
  • My partner and I found the skeleton of a Parasaurolophus which is a a fast dinosaur and the Parasaurolophus is good at blending in with other dinosaurs because they are good at hideing within a group.
