You are to create three diagrams that illustrate culture as a garden of growth, another that shows culture as an arena of power relations, and a third that depicts culture as a sea of symbolism. Do this in connection with young children in today’s world. You may choose to draw your diagrams by hand, or you can create a PowerPoint using clip art or tools from your computers. Please submit the assignment by Sunday of this week at midnight.
Diagram 1
Culture as a Garden of Growth:
Create a diagram that represents culture as a garden.
In the center of the diagram, draw a representation of young children in today’s world.
Surround the children with various elements that symbolize cultural growth, such as plants, trees, and flowers.
Each plant or flower can represent different aspects of culture, such as language, traditions, values, and beliefs.
You can use clip art or illustrations to depict specific cultural symbols or elements relevant to the diversity of young children’s experiences.
Diagram 2
Culture as an Arena of Power Relations:
Design a diagram that illustrates culture as an arena or stage.
Place young children at the center of the diagram.
Draw arrows or lines extending from the children to represent different sources of power and influence.
These sources could include family, community, media, education, and other social institutions that shape children’s experiences and values.
Depict different symbols or icons representing each source of power and influence to show the variety of factors that impact children’s cultural understanding and socialization.
Diagram 3
Culture as a Sea of Symbolism:
Create a diagram that represents culture as a vast sea.
Draw young children floating or swimming in the sea, representing their immersion in culture.
Use symbols or icons to represent various cultural elements, such as language, food, clothing, music, and art, floating or submerged in the sea.
Illustrate waves or ripples in the water to signify the dynamic nature of culture and its constant influence on children.
You can add additional symbols or icons that represent cultural diversity and the interconnectedness of different cultures in today’s world.
Remember, these descriptions are intended to provide you with a starting point for creating your own visual representations. You can use clip art, illustrations, or design tools to bring these concepts to life in a visually engaging way.
