Identity, Society, and Culture

The Readings in the book is very interesting. Iv never thought that the images of people in drastic sitcuations may actually be a violiation of privacy. I believe that when someone does take those photos they are completely for good intentions, such as giving visual evidence to support a drive campaign or missionary team. Now my position in the world can shape my opinions on identity, society, and culture. My personal identity is affected because im an american. Being an american there is alot of personal pride, and love for your country, this helps shape my identity. My ideas on society are also very affected by being an american. We are in a first world country, our country is one of the most prominent countries on the planet with some of the most advanced military and technological advances. This really affects our society becuase compared to pther places we are in really good shape. Our America is the main contributer to the Western culture, we hav influenced things such as Rock, and roll, blue jeans and rap music. This leads into our culture as well because of this. Overall the largest contributer to my ideas on Society, Culture, and Identity is the fact that I am an american.
