What is it about this community that keeps you involved in it? It is my community, the one I was raised in, to be a part of, and to get involved whenever possible, by my parents. This is a part of my adult social responsibilities, integrating with the culture makes it stronger, and continuing my own learning experiences. It is investing in me, and it provides a sense of belonging, besides being enjoyable and heartwarming to me. In my opinion, it is essential for the overall growth and wellbeing to have people that care about it, show it, and support it. Perhaps this was instilled in me by my parent’s involvement, and keeping me involved in clubs, sports, and activities since my youth. Without people, caring about our community it becomes stifled

  • Formation of Imagined Communities

    1927 Words  | 4 Pages

    In “The man behind Abercrombie and Fitch.” An interview conducted by Benoit Denizet-Lewis displays a glimpse into the life of Mike Jeffries and his views of his company only hiring “good-looking” people and targeting “good-looking” people to wear his clothes. This has been done in order to force his audience to recognize that the issue of acceptance one’s peers and exclusion of a community mentioned by Mike Jeffries, is a result of cultural perceptions and individual self-image. Denizet-Lewis skillfully shows that while Jeffries remarks of not wanting the “not-so-popular” kids to shop in his stores, it poses a question to consumers asking what change in our attitudes will come or if there will be any change at all. Thus comes the issue of how consumers today have a shift in the reasoning behind why one buys clothing and the motivating factors that influence one to buy certain clothing. Denizet-Lewis also demonstrates the different messages that controversial advertisements and statements affect different groups of people and how what they project is really what people desire, though deemed by many people as unacceptable or inappropriate. The author also examines how in the news media, the image has become more important than the message and how images have taken precedent over actual issues and character. As a result of this, various communities have formed by the construct of selling to “beautiful people” and how popular appeal has become an extension of a person.

    The attitudes of others forcibly constrict and diminish the subconscious of others ultimately limiting their ability to make choices and clouding their sense of belonging. There is only a matter of time before one's choices are influenced by their surroundings and the relationships that exist there. Psychological barriers created by experience dictate one's attitude ultimately limiting their perception of the world. The attitudes of others can thrust unwanted experiences on one, ultimately altering and damaging their capability to make choices in relation to where they situate their sense of self. Jane Harrison’s Rainbows End, a play about how the ignorance of Anglo-Saxon society in Australia inhibits and challenges an Aboriginal family to find where they belong in society and Edgar Allen Poe’s Alone, a poem that addresses differences in how one views the world and how they make sense of where they belong in it. Both of these texts utilize various techniques that allow us to see how the attitudes of others reduce one’s sense of belonging.

  • Cornerstone: Community Analysis

    457 Words  | 1 Pages

    As I evaluate the community at Cornerstone, I wonder what everyone’s spiritual life looks like. It’s hard to know. Everyone is at a different place - that’s perfectly acceptable. I just hope everyone is committed to growth, no matter how far along in their walk with God they may be. I think, if there were one thing about the student culture that I would change is the lack of pursuit of spiritual guidance. Among many students, I see a general reluctance to attend chapels. As I scanned for the last Evensong for the semester, I was surprised how many people joyfully exclaimed, “I did it, guys! All 25 credits.” That didn’t include those who hadn’t successfully reached 25. I wholeheartedly understand how chapel may not be convenient. You’re tired. You have a project. There will always be an excuse. The same could be said for those who do not regularly attend church. After having my share of 7:30am classes, I understand not wanting to wake up
