1) Choose three of the social and cultural institutions in Australia
Mass Media – Internet, Radio, Newspapers, Television (NEWS, Current
Affairs, Documentaries, Reality TV), Email, Blogs & Vlogs
Families – Family (i.e. Immediate, Blended, Single Parent or Adoptive),
Caregivers/Kinship, Family by choice
Health Systems – Medicare, GP’s, Doctors, Dietitians,
Therapists/Counsellors/Psychologists, Surgical
a) How do these institutions shape our values and beliefs?
The three institutions I have chosen shape our values and beliefs by
influencing personal preferences and decisions that impact us first hand
and our community.
-Families can shape our beliefs because they are an immediate source of
support and comfort from those we know and trust.
-Access to Health Systems is a value of many who believe everyone
should be entitled to support, an example of this institution is Medicare.
-Media influences values and decisions because it is easily accessible,
current and up to date and not always correct or legitimate (for example
Tabloids looking for stories)
b) How do these values and beliefs of “the majority view” within a
society impact on others?
They impact individual decision making, self-esteem and confidence.
“Majority views” or Majority Influence can impact on an individual or
minority by: ostracism or exclusion, fear of rejection or not taken seriously
to speak out and acceptance.
The three institutions I have chosen, shape the values and beliefs by “the
majority view” on others by encouraging a way of everyday life,
suggesting:
-what we are meant to do (i.e. Family: attending University after
graduating High School to make our family proud)
-what is the right way to achieve something (Health system: losing
weight/gaining muscle at the gym with proper dieting and exercise
than starvation or taking steroids)
-what is right and wrong (Media: following current events on criminals
who serve minimal to no jail time for something considered
‘unforgivable’).
