Good parents must be unequivocally invested (1) _________________ of their children. Yet since the days
of Plato, (2) _________________ have been suggesting ways in which the State can raise children in an
attempt to subvert the traditional family. In Book V of his Republic, Plato wrote the following: “… children are
to be the common, and no parent is to know his own child, nor any child his parent.”

The state-driven (3) _________________ ideas of Plato were passed on to French Philosopher Jean-
Jacques Rousseau and then to Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. As a result, Communism and by default,
p. 2
 Socialism has probably been (4) _________________ all-time net contributors to the breakdown of the
family.

Engels was clear in his desire to see (5) _________________ of husband and wife, as well as parent and
child, entirely erased from society: “… the first condition for the liberation of the wife is to bring the whole
female sex back into public industry, and that this in turn demands that the characteristic of monogamous
family as the economic unit of society be abolished.”
For (6) _________________, the family is being attacked by (7) _________________ of society and in doing
so our Western nations are unravelling. We need to carefully (8) _________________ a family provides and
choose, based on scientific observation, statistical analysis and biblical wisdom, the best way forward for
humanity. "...choose life, that both you and your (9) _________________ may live"

LET´S CREATE AND SHARE

ACTIVITY 5: Now, it is time to show our learning during this unit.

SITUATION: At school, you constantly hear some classmates stating that nowadays family is not important
anymore because “individuality and self-help” is enough to success in Peruvian society. For that reason, you
want to make them aware of the important role family has during the podcast programme online your school
has on weekends, where some students present different topics related to education, health, and society.

TASK: Create a podcast (2 – 4 minutes) explaining your classmates about the important role of family in
our society.

Revise the information in the “Appendix” to learn how to create a great

podcast.
LET’S REFLECT
ACTIVITY 6: Let’s reflect on our learning and complete the following table:

APPENDIX

A. HOW TO START YOUR PODCAST?

What is a Podcast?
Podcasts are audio shows and stories that are available on the internet. Podcasts are series of recorded
content pieces, usually based around a specific idea, topic, or theme – just like your favourite shows on TV.
They are typically audio recordings of narratives or conversations, either between a host and a guest
speaker, or monologues by a single person. These digital audios can be easily downloaded on mobile
devices and listeners can consume them anytime, anywhere.

What kind of podcast can I make?

 The Solo Podcast: Only the host.
 The Interview Show: The host + a guest.
 The Panel Show: A host + a number of rotating guests
 Conversational/Co-hosted podcast: A group of people sitting around and having a conversation.
 Non-Fictional Storytelling.
 Fiction Storytelling.
 Hybrid: you can go ahead, mix, and match the different formats described above.

How do I structure my podcast?

The most basic structure is intro – body – outro.
1. Intro: A short and simple description of you as the host, the podcast and/or episode, giving listeners an
idea of who you are and what you’re going to be talking about.
2. Body: The main portion of your podcast.
3. Outro: A short summary of the episode, sometimes with a short preview of or promo of the next
episode.
4. Background music: Many podcasters choose to have background music during at least the intro and
outro sections; a great source for this music is YouTube’s Audio Library – they even have sound effects.
5. Duration: Podcast episodes actually range from being 2-120 minutes long! When starting a podcast,
aim for not more than 15 minutes and go from there.
