ACTIVITY 5: LET’S READ THE TEXT (ANNEX 2) AND SOLVE THE THREE QUESTIONS IN YOUR

NOTEBOOK:

- What do you learn about Goths from reading the following definitions?

They hace a own words with their owns definitions.

- What do your reactions to the Goth dictionary tell you about your own attitudes to such
subcultures?

Goth isn't about wearing particular clothes or liking a particular band. At its heart, goth is a life
philosophy. At its core, goth philosophy it revolves around one main idea: accept the darkness,
and learn to see beauty in it. and I think that the gothic dictionary is just a stupid.

- To what extend does the slang of a group such as the Goths affect our understanding of them
and ourselves?

In the first place, these slang limits that one can understand the Gothic, since they are slang of a
certain group that apparently no one pays attention to, so our understanding of them is almost nil.

ACTIVITY 6: NOW, LET’S READ THE QUESTION AND ANSWER IT IN YOUR NOTEBOOK: WRITE A

REASONED ARGUMENT FROM 100 TO 150 WORDS:

How is a citizen of a certain anglophone country similar to or different from a member of a certain
subculture from Perú?

Take feminism as an example, the women who participate here are aware that they are part of a
social movement that asks women to recognize the capacities and rights that have traditionally
been reserved for men. But in recent years they have been highlighted by the media that they
considered somewhat stupid, they try to change the language, the language does not represent an
ideology and they want to change it. Subcultures like these are those that impede the absolute
development of a country, generate ideological delays, and are summarized as a waste of time.

MRTL 8 “Beliefsmand Identity”

LET’S MAKE CONTACT AND REMEMBER

ACTIVITY 1: LOOK AT THE PICTURES. THINK AND WRITE THE WORDS OR IDEAS THAT COME TO
YOUR MIND.

HOW DO OUR BELIEFS CREATE OUR IDENTITY?

When we are born, we don’t have any beliefs or values yet. They are only developed and forged as
we grow up. The things that form our identities are many and unique. It starts with inherited
genetics, which determines our gender, size, hair color and a multitude of other characteristics.
Then our family and friends influence the sense of values and our belief in what is important. Once
we develop a core belief, it becomes such an important and foundational part of who we are that
we will defend it.
