This week we reflected upon the interviews conducted last week by exploring the values of each stakeholder. Each stakeholder was listed, and as a class we brainstormed values that are important to them. This method allowed us to compare and contrust stakeholder expectations. Common themes included:
- Culture
- Love
- Education
Values were then grouped according to similarity. Words that best represented these groups were selected. These would be our themes.
Kim explained how these themes could be useful in solving or re-framing the problem. She spoke about how we can explore how these themes have been represented in pop-culture or literature, and use that as a possible solution.
She gave an example of the identity theme through the novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. The story tells of a man with two identities, by day he is Dr. Jekyll the intellectual and by night he is Mr. Hyde, the criminal. While these two identities seem completely seperate, the protagonists finds that his identity emobodies both these people. He can not simply ignore one. Using this framework on the Kings Cross example, you can immediately see the correlation. Whilst during the day The Cross is a quiet city centre, by night it turns into a bustling cultural hub of youth.
For homework we were asked to select two themes and relate them to personal experiences/ pop-culture references and literature!
