Titel 2 Theme 2 - Violence

I dette forløb undersøger vi begreberne 'violence and violations'. Forløbet fokuserer på forskellige aspekter af vold herunder hvad menneskers bevæggrunde er for at begå vold. Forløbet tager udgangspunkt i skønlitterære tekster: noveller. Med særlig fokus på at opnå kompetence i at læse og analysere skønlitterære tekster, og blive fortrolige med tekstanalytiske begreber på engelsk. Der er i særdeleshed fokus på 'character' og 'atmosphere'.

Titel 6 Theme 6: Aspects of America 2 - Black America

Theme 6: Aspects of America 2 - Black America (SRO) - eksamensemne

The topic has been researched in the context of the SRO project, which was on the study of intersectionality as coined by scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw.

Focus points under this theme have been:
- American values (declaration of independence, origin of core values)
- Historical background (slavery, Civil War, Jim Crow)
- The ongoing debate on black people’s status and situation in the US today; issues of intersectionality, structural racism and white privilege.

The analytical framework was applied to the film “Precious” from 2010.

Titel 9 Theme 8 - Human connection and relationships

Human connection and relationships

What is the word connection (term connection) about? What does human connection mean? And what types of connection do we need to nourish in order to thrive?
According to psychologist Dr. Adam Dorsay, there are four types of connections we need in order to lead fulfilling lives. Those four areas are: connection to ourselves, to others, to the world, and to something greater. We investigate some of these connections - connections as in relating to others - and the benefits and obstacles we experience as human beings in our quests to connect to others.
