Learning Module: Role Models and Bad Influences


This is a basic activity which is useful as an icebreaker. This should provide a topic that all students have something to contribute on.

This is also a good starting point to think about professional identity and the influence of others on the way in which we define our own identity. You can also catch up with what all the kids are watching.

I have found some groups tend to focus on Judge Judy as a 'safe' topic for discussion, sometimes only the mavericks are willing to discuss other preferences and mark themselves out as individuals. I am not sure if this is because the 18-23 demographic do not watch law shows on tv or whether this is a kind of groupthink. Maybe Judge Judy is just that popular? I have considered removing Judge Judy from the list of suggestions in case this is leading the discussion.
