This week in sociology we learns about socially constructed groups. Theese are the groups that we associate ourselves with that make up who we are. We wrote down different groups in class that we associated ourselves with and our own personal roles in them. We also determined what me considered our own master group that we see ourselves.
After writing down all the groups thr I saw myself a part of I started to think more about how all these groups affected me and realized that they all affected me of very different ways. Things I would say/do when I'm at wrigley field then at school and vise versa for school. When even looking at wrigley alone I act different depending on who I'm with. These sort of things happen because the people around me in the group I'm in. When I can be the smart guy in my radio group because I know how to run all the equipment I can also be the new guy who knows nothing when I first started at wrigley. It almost feels like your identity completely changes depending on the social situation/group that you are a part of.
