Assignment -Equality and Diversity

Our assignment was to choose one of the subjects below and represent it in a photo shoot.

• Race
• Gender
• Sexuality
• Age
• Disability

For my assignment I decided to look in to gender with more depth. 

 Ideas

• My first idea is to have a man dressed in female clothing such as a casual dress and heels. And for the woman to be in male clothing such as a suit.

• Another idea was to have a man holding make-up tools and cooking utensils, this is to highlight that they are stereotypically associated with woman. For the woman i want to have her holding mechanic and d.i.y tools again this is to show stereotypes.

• My final idea is to have a man and a woman in the same clothes, and doing the same job but the man earning more money, again this is stereotypical.

Equality & Diversity

What is equality & diversity?

Equality is about 'creating a fairer society', where everyone can participate and has the opportunity to fulfill their potential, By eliminating prejudice and discrimination.

Diversity means difference. When it is used as a contrast or addition to equality, it is about recognizing individuals as well as group differences, treating people as individuals, and placing positive value on diversity in the community and in the workforce.

Images that express equality & diversity

This image works well as it shows unfairness in the work place and also shows different types of people and how they're effected, so the image shows good diversity.



I like how the image shows a different range of ages and ethnic origins. Also how different people are effected and how they think they have to hide certain things in the work place or hiding things to get a job.

How the brain works.

How the brain works.

Your brain contains billions of nerve cells arranged in patterns that coordinate thought, emotion, behavior, movement and sensation. A complicated system of nerves connects your brain to the rest of your body, so communication can occur in seconds. While all the parts of your brain work together, each part is responsible for a specific function, controlling everything from your heart rate to your mood.

The cerebrum is the largest part of your brain. It's what you visualize when you think of brains in general. This is the out of layer that is worm like and has deep folds and wrinkles in the brain increase the surface area of the gray matter, so more information can be processed.

Your brain's hemispheres are divided into four lobes.

• The frontal lobes control thinking, planning, organizing, problem solving, short-term memory and movement.
• The parietal lobes interpret sensory information, such as taste, temperature and touch.
• The occipital lobes process images from your eyes and link that information with images stored in memory.
• The temporal lobes process information from your senses of smell, taste and sound. They also play a role in memory storage.

The cerebellum is a wrinkled ball of tissue below and behind the rest of your brain. It works to combine information from the eyes, ears and muscles to help movement.

The brainstem links the brain to the spinal cord. It controls many functions vital to life, such as heart rate, blood pressure and breathing. This area is also important for sleep.
