Blog Post #6

I thought our discussion this week about male privilege was very interesting because I never really think about how others view the male race, especially from the point of view of a woman. I would have loved to have also read other perspectives about this specific group of society from the eyes of other males, from children, from elders, from people of color, and from foreigners. It is always very interesting for me to see how each opinion about a certain group of society differs depending on the group viewing them. In addition, this topic of discussion brought to my attention my own social identity. I am a white, Jewish, young woman. I wonder how others view myself. I wonder how those of different color, those of different religion, and those of different gender perceive of me. I wonder how those from other countries view me. I wonder how my family views me. In fact, I wonder how other white, Jewish, women view me. Sometimes, people of the same social identity view others similar to them in a different light. Social identity is a very interesting topic that I look forward to exploring in my next essay. I also look forward to peer editing the next set of essays because it will allow me to enter the world of social identity of other members of my class.
