So for the first unit of class, everything we did circulated around who we are, and getting that into our writing. Creating our social context. I remember trying to figure out how to incorporate who I am in my writing but not giving up things that I didn't want to. Staying reserved to a degree. Looking back now, especially doing a project on Strippers I think it puts a lot of things into context. Strippers personal context is never asked. You go to the strip club and the average male only sees someone that satisfy his pleasure and reciprocate it by paying them. And the thing about it is, many people don't think about who they are, the lives that they live. People don't think about their personal context and thus treat them as less than human to a degree. I feel that this is an issue, but there really isn't anyone to blame. The stripper doesn't want you to know them. And you don't really want to think about them possibly as someones daughter, or wife, or whatever they may be. That makes it too difficult, for both sides. I feel now looking back at my personal context and the world we live in that people share things about themselves for many reasons. Sometimes we want to be humanized. Brought to a level. Pitied and made to feel better. And at other times we try to be brick walls. We try to be something that we are not, whether for the benefit or not at the time. When we chose to share that personal context is something that is important to the individual, sometimes its good for someone to know your past, know you. And other times, its better they don't.
