...Part 1 By looking at the psychosocial theory of identity and social identity theory we realize that there is many similarities and differences in how they conceptualise identity. Both theories agree that identity has personal and social aspects. The most noticeable difference is that the psychosocial theory looks at how we achieve our individual identities, whereas Tajfel focuses on how we develop group identities (as cited in Phoenix, 2007, p. 62). Looking at each of the theorists’ biographies shows us how each person’s past has influenced their interests. Erikson’s interest is on core identity and lifelong development whereas the Tajfel’s main interest was on how prejudice is produced through group identity. The two theories have different research methods where Tafel uses an experimental research method to gain objectivity in contrast with Erikson seeking a subjective or insider viewpoint. As a result both theories gather different types of data. We then look at how differently our identities is said to develop in each theory and whether the theories view our identities are fixed or allow for change. Our identity is what makes us unique, it is understood to be our own theory of ourselves and it includes the characteristics and relationships we have with other people (as cited in Phoenix, 2007, p. 47). Erik Erikson (1902-1994) was a psychoanalyst and defined identity as ‘a conscious sense of individual uniqueness, an unconscious striving for continuity and having solidarity...

...E108 – Working with Young People | Lisa MarshallTMA01 | C6450235 | October 2013 | Contents Part 1: Exploring an audiovisual case study 3 Part 2: Reflecting on Learning 6 Bibliography 7 Part 1: Exploring an audiovisual case study a) What are Scott and Jean trying to achieve with the icebreakers? Scott and Jean’s Icebreaker activities serve several different purposes, the first of which being to encourage the group to come together as a whole and get to know one another. The initial activity did a fabulous job of encouraging the youngsters to introduce themselves to their peers in a fun and non intimidating way. It ‘broke the ice’ (LGBT Youth Scotland clips 2-6). If the introductions had been done with a greater amount of formality, i.e. with the group sat around a table, the young people probably would not have responded with the same amount of enthusiasm. The laughing and body language demonstrated suggests they were obviously relaxed and at ease with themselves and other members of the group but what they evidently didn’t realise was that the activity was encouraging them to practise how to communicate with each other and also listen to and remember what each other had to say. They were practising active listening. ‘It’s putting skills across, but actually not maybe the young people realising they’re actually starting those skill sets already, right from the beginning’. (LGBT Youth Scotland clips 2-6). Encouraging the young people to work together as a large...

...Drawing on what you have learnt from the DD102 module materials and your work on TMA 01, outline some examples of difference on City Road, Cardiff. Word limit: 750 words In my previous TMA, I referred to ‘difference’ as ‘an indication of dissimilarity’ between groups of people. Blakeley and Staples specify sexuality and class, as contrasts between groups in contemporary society (Blakeley and Staples, 2014, p.25). This essay will give further insight into some of the differences that are present on City Road, Cardiff today. City Road accommodates people of varied socio-economic positions. By looking at people’s occupations and levels of income, it is possible to establish an understanding of the social scale that exists here. Their lifestyles are shaped by the choices that are available to them i.e. their sense of style, but also some constraints e.g. the amount that they can afford to spend on clothing. (Havard, 2014, p.38). Considering the grand design of the Mackintosh Centre and the fact that the families owned the land, it is reasonable to conclude that the owners were wealthy. Therefore, they had more options in terms of how they could control their expenditure in comparison to other members of the community. John Arthur is a homeless man, who has never experienced a day of work in his life. His level of income is very low as he begs for spare change - shown in ‘The life and times of the street: Part 1’ video (Open University, 2014). Moreover, John’s...

...Melanie Jones E5692114 Drawing on what you have learnt from the DD102 module materials and your work on TMA 01, outline some examples of inequality on City Road, Cardiff. In this essay I intend to expand further on my initial observations noted in TMA01, surrounding the concept of inequality and how it manifests on City Road in a manner of ways. TMA01 establishes inequality as “the unequal distribution of valued resources” (Blakeley and Staples 2014, p13). Examples of inequalities arise through wealth,age,class,disability and race. Through my comprehension and observations drawn from the module material I will highlight further examples of inequalities experienced amongst the people living on and utilising City Road. Good start, though I would ask you to avoid using the first person (‘I’). Instead you could say ‘This essay will….’ etc City Road is a vibrant street in Cardiff, housing a variety of businesses and residents, a very diverse population encompassing many international cultures, however this abundance of choice in itself can allow for certain inequalities to form. ‘Making lives on the street’(The Open University, 2016) highlights the restrictions and constraints suffered due to economic inequality, or the simple divide between rich and poor.Traditionally City Road was home to many small thriving businesses, however larger chains like Tesco have moved into the area, threatening trade of the smaller outlets and whilst providing more choice also limiting...

...Assignment 02 – Reflection on TMA01 Part 1 – Cleopatra OU Identifier: C8215589 Jamie Barber The characterisation of Antony and Cleopatra in this passage is clearly in accordance with the popular Roman opinion of them both at the time of the event and centuries after. Antony’s characterisation can somewhat be seen to be of a more demeaning manner than that of Cleopatra’s, the foreigner who was to blame for Antony’s sinful desertion of his kin and country. When Antony “witnessed this [the desertion of his fleet to Octavian]”, his weakness and cowardice are highlighted by Plutarch, and re-emphasised in his retreat to the city, and his subsequent disrobing of his armour, which ultimately emasculated him. Plutarch’s inference of the first person narratives which allegedly took place detail Antony as recognising himself that he in fact had “less courage than a woman”, and this same statement reduces Cleopatra to a mere woman, in contrast to the revered warhead and queen she had once been. Cleopatra’s betrayal and trickery run as a theme throughout most of the historical representations of her and of the events leading to Antony’s desertion, and are highlighted in this passage by her acts in fleeing to her tomb and betraying Antony once more. Another relevant theme affecting the couple’s characterisation is that of their relationship and the power dynamics within it. Antony is irrevocably influenced by his adoration of Cleopatra, which is clear from his sense of betrayal at her aiding...

...TMA01 Question1: i. Point of connection: known as a socket it is used to gain access to a communication network that enables users to use different services. For example, it is possible to make a phone call from a fixed telephone at home to some one using a mobile phone. ii. Modem: it is an interface device that is connected between your computer and your telephone line. iii. Time division multiplexing and multiplexers: TDM allows switches to create channels, also known as tributaries, within a transmission stream. iv. Cable station and earth stations: Cables terminate at cable stations whereas satellite links terminate at Earth stations. Cable stations are normally located near to the coast where the cables land. However, Earth stations have been in remote locations to isolate them from electrical interference. v. International access link: Having considered communication between two countries, the next step is to extend the cable and satellite links to centers of population and commerce. These extensions are often referred to as international access links, and are usually concentrated at a small number of locations, depending upon the traffic. vi. Internet: The Internet carries various information resources and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer and file sharing. Question2: a) ↑ ...
