Media and Sexism
From Margin to Center
To Prepare: Download the Week 2 Journal Template found in Required Resources and complete according to the instructions.
By Day 7 Submit your journal entry. Note: In this course you will be asked to provide journal entries on various topics. The intent of the journals is for you to reflect on some of the more difficult topics we address in this course. It should be a safe and confidential outlet for you to explore a little more deeply your thoughts and emotions surrounding that week’s topic. You will be assessed on your knowledge of the concepts, application of social work values, and demonstration of critical thought related to the topic. Quite often prior to beginning a social work program, students do not consider how privilege and power on the one side and oppression on the other side impact people every day. Reflect on how this may be a new topic for you and give your personal responses to sometimes very difficult discussion.
