2. Influences in our lives (Week 4-5)

Influences in my life
There are many things which influence our lives...
1. Physical (natural and man made things)
2. Social (living in communities)
3. Cultural (features of a group of people)
4. Economic (buying and selling)
5. Political (government and decision making)

Here is a little collection of pictures which makes me think about these influences....

How much money the government puts into education affects what I can do as a teacher in my school.
This is a political influence.

Having children has changed the places I chose to go to on the weekend.

This is a social influence.

I work as a teacher and earn money so I can buy things that I need and want.

This is an economic influence.

My parents were born in another country and now I know how to speak another language.

This is a physical influence.

There are physical, social, cultural, economic  and political things that influence your life everyday. I have explained to you very simply "how" things have influenced my life. Now it's you turn to explain the influences in your life. But I would like you to give more detail, telling me exactly what the influence is and how it changes you.
