Bits and Pieces

The other day in class our sociology teacher made us make a web, not just any web, it was a web of ourselves. We had to make a web of the things that mades us well...us. I liked this activity because I have always thought about how we are all just bits and pieces of characteristics and traits from many different people, making one person. Is anyone really unique? It reminds me of snowflakes. Indivdually, we all seem different and perhaps "unique" but from far away we are all the same, made up of a lot of things that we took from other people at some point in our lives.


This also made me think about how important it is to be sociologically mindfull. Why do we start a new hobby, sport, or even like a certain color? Chances are we were influenced by someone, someway, somehow. That is why our society should watch how they act around others. That made me think how I should watch how I act around others, what I say, and what I do. Something I say, or what anyone else says for that matter, can be taken in by someone else and influence them in good ways or in bad. That article on sociological mindfulness means a lot mpre to me now.
