I like to think that the individual has
more control of how others view people. It goes even farther then I
talked of last time and the words you say and how that is filtered
out. It also feel that in that since that it is shown out then how
you would even look and that would be a self label in a since. That
actors dress up and they way they feel would be right to there role
that they are playing. But most people have more then one role that
they must play in one day. That does not mean that we can just change
hats so to say and that is what makes us feel a different role. Or do
we mix in a since or all are hats into what we do everyday. Where if
we have a role to be a student, worker, and girlfriend. Could we not
then at times in a since add in what we learn and how a student looks
or a audience thinks they look then to add that being a worker wail
at school. I think this has to do that we are in many plays and drams
that if so for anyone that knows about this it is really hard to
change form one costume to another and as such props and stage back
drops are changed to show the difference in the characters even
though it is the same person in each seam. It is like a one woman
show. For a example to look at this and give it a case.
Emma Watson
The roles
- She is a sister and part of a family
- She is a actress
- She is a student
The list could really just go on and one but those are just a few examples.Then with all the roles at times in I think in her mind and daily life all the roles start to be put together. Its like the idea of the melting pot and stew. It might start out as a stew and others can view it as a stew but for the individual after so long I feel the parts in the stew melt and become a melting pot even if it does not seam to be that way to others. With that being said at times when they try to act in away that makes other people see stigma with it. For example for Emma it would be wanting to go to a public college. Even though she has all this money and no need to go to a public one where she should face so many people with other students. Yet it fit to her self label wanting to be a normal girl for once after working for so long.
I thought that you did a great job explaining your own interpretation of "self-label." Using a celebrity was a perfect example when illustrating the concept of a stigma that can be placed upon an individual when they are actually trying to develop different "self-labels" than the ones they do not want to be perceived as. I think that you were right when saying that we "mix our hats." We all try to be many different people at once so that we can "appropriately" fill the many roles we play throughout the day and throughout life. While I believe that the information you have in your blog is great, I think that you might want to reread it. Sorry for being nit-picky, but there are some grammar mistakes and wrong word usage, making it a little difficult to understand what you are saying to its full extent. For example, you use the word "seam" instead of "seem" and "wail" instead of "while." Again, sorry for nit-picking. My questions for you are, do you think that it is possible to create too many "self-labels," causing an individual to eventually lose their "true" identity? Does the pressure of society make us want to present ourselves as something that we are not?
ReplyDeleteI liked your example of Emma and how she didn't care what others thought she should do she did what she wanted to. I think this is what stops so many people sometimes, they get caught up in a role that if they try to do something different or new the audience questions them and places a stigma.
