  • Everyday Rapture Photos by Carol Rosegg MAY 2009
    GROUP ACTIVITY: HUMAN BAROMETER This activity is a great way to get a group of people talking. Gather with friends, family or peers and find out what role television plays in your lives by using the different sides of the room to create a “human barometer”! Each side of the room will represent the extreme answers, and based on your personal response to the question, you will place yourself anywhere between the two opposite sides that correspond with your answer. Once everyone is in place, start a discussion! Have a few people discuss where they place themselves along the barometer and why. 1. How much television do you watch each day? The right side of the room represents 5 hours, the left side of the room represents 0 hours. 2. How much time do you spend with your family each day? The right side of the room represents 5 hours, the left side of the room represents 0 hours. 3. Consider the statement: “I prefer watching television over spending time with my family.” The right side of the room represents “Completely Agree,” the left side of the room represents “Completely Disagree.” 4. How often do you see violence on television? The right side of the room indicates that you see a lot of violence on television, the left side of the room indicates that you see very little violence on television. (This includes news reports, fictional shows, tv movies, etc.) 5. How often do you find yourself encountering problems with aggression, not excluding instances of your own aggression? The right side of the room represents never, the left side of the room represents almost always 6.
