Personal Narrative: My Personal Geopolitical Community

381 Words2 Pages

Maurer & Smith describes geopolitical community as a geographical area or place (2013 ). My personal geopolitical community is a master planned community located in the San Joaquin Hills in the southeastern corner of Orange Country, California. It is geopolitical as it is surrounded by well-defined boundaries for easy identification on a map. In 2016, the city reported a population of almost 66,000. Phenomenological community is a community where members feel a sense of belongingness and membership (Maurer & Smith, 2013). My own phenomenological community includes my parish church and the community 's Little League baseball association. My family and I have been members of this wonderful parish where we volunteer, learn and celebrate

    Rebels Without a Cause Not very many people have affected me in the same way as my friend Jake Fernholz. I have never realized the influence he has had on me until someone pointed out that we talk and think the same way. I only met Jake two years ago in track, when a pulled hamstring injury caused Mr. Kellerman to have me practice with the long distance kids. Mr. Kellerman forced me into staying on the long distance team and that is where I started to hit it off with Jake. It took me a long time to be comfortable with Jake, but when I did we quickly found our common interests.

The theatre vocabulary is very confusing for the outside world, but for me it is my second language. More specifically, I have developed a passion for the technical elements of theatre over the years. The joy of being the “people in black” that can make amazing sets and produce incredible plays which goes unnoticed.. Although this discourse is much small yet complex it has helped me find out who I am but also in my academic skills through learning how to work in teams, solve problems independently but also how to be

  • Personal Narrative: A Separate Peace

    After days of searching for refuge, through the tangle of eroding, weather-beaten and fragmented hills, two score soldiers manned a military outpost where the borders of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan meet, was placed right before our eyes and it was like the sorrows which previously filled our bodies during our walk to this place, not knowing we would actually find any refuge, had almost fled from our minds, in hope that we would be accepted into this place ahead of us. As we drew nearer and nearer to the refuge, the wind picked up, our energy slowed down, his lips cracked and bled and the sparse energy left in me completely drained out of me and I collapsed onto the ground. Moments later, my head was being cradled in the crook of his arm and I felt the drops of water trickling down my face and onto my eyes, clearing the sand and dust which allowed me to slightly flicker my eyes open to see so many unfamiliar faces staring down at me and the only familiar face, my lover, reached his hands to mine and gently pulled me into his arms, guiding me to a hut which we have been allowed in for as

    He describes community so perfectly in his essay while telling his story of the flood, “the people who lived here were not the only ones who helped out. People drove here from all over the country to cook food and donate supplies.” (Kohl 113). I love that he included the fact that people that did not belong to his actual community still came together to form an entire new community to help one another and rebuild. Kohl describes his community as amazing because of how many people from all over had already filled up shelters with supplies and helped other rebuild their homes.

  • The Role Of Community In Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window

    Society is fooled into believing in the applied connection among people. Benedict Anderson’s idea of imagined communities emphasizes that, “… the members of even the smallest nation will never know most of their fellow-members, meet them, or even hear of them, yet in the minds of each lives the image of their communion” (5). Members of neighborhoods, cities, states, or countries feel a sense of unity with other members for living in the same place or maybe having the same basic values, but true unity comes from understanding the similarities among each other, considering the impact a person can have on another, and caring about lives. Recognizing the importance of lives being socially intertwined is necessary to sustain a considerate society.

    Community has never been an unknown concept to me. While the concept is complex, I’ve always found it relatively simple to find a sense of community, no matter where I am. I feel a sense of community when I am involved and when I am connected to the people in my immediate surroundings. Growing up in this generation has given me first-hand experience of the corresponding dimensions of community, and learning that our community isn’t known on one level. It’s viral.

    A community, a complex term that often times elicits various feelings and definitions, generally implies that there are relationships between a group of people that share some common goals, values, the same geographical location, or, perhaps a way of life that reinforces one another. In a community, members choose to associate with, or connect to each other. However, it is only when we take a step back from the activities in our life’s, do we recognize reality and witness the social interactions that occur around us every day. The overarching purpose of this assignment was to go out into the community on two separate occasions to observe the social interactions- paying close attention to evidence of social networks, excluded or exclusive communities,
