they will write what comes first into their mind.

After that they should answer the following questions:

What did you see on the screen?
What came into your mind after seeing that picture?
Now share your own understanding with anybody in the class.
Is it different? Why or why not?
What made your understanding of the picture different from the perception of your
classmates?

Statement of Learning Outcomes:

People are different individuals, so they have different perceptions of things. Just like seeing
a black cat; people from PAWS or Philippine Animal Welfare Society will find the black cat cute
while some people may it as a bad omen. These things are what you call social differences. This
week you will be able to know how social differences affect communication so you will be able to
demonstrate sensitivity to socio-cultural dimensions of communication especially focused on
culture, gender, age, social status, and religion.
