9. Being in groups was the effect of the rigid caste system by the Spanish in the Americas. These groups were based off of your family. For example the more money your family had the higher you were place. And same if you had little to no money, you were placed lower in the system.
It was the last inning in our all-star game, and we were losing 10 to 8. Our team had 2 outs and we couldn’t get the third. Our pitcher was doing bad, throwing all balls, while all of us in the field were tired, ready to fall asleep at any moment. There goes another walk. They score again.
At my high school, the Beta Club is the most elite, respected, and prestigious club. It is filled with the leaders, the doers, the hard-working, and the individuals who turn their dreams into reality. It is not for everyone, and in our ever-changing society, that is clear. Most people today do not like to rise up to the ever-growing challenge of leadership. It takes a certain kind of person to be a good leader, and the Beta Club has greatly helped me in doing so.
However, when they are in individual, they are no longer binded to the group’s ideas, rather, they are able to see things in many ways. It forces them to see through the views of others, which then leads into a mutual
The Tide detergent bottle gradually moved back and forth, as my father’s elbow creaked, refusing to cooperate. “It’s my own way of physical therapy, you see,” my father boasted. “If I keep it up, I think I’ll be able to move my elbow by the end of the month.” “Yeah,” I whispered, keeping my voice low, because I knew my mother was shut-away in the other room. The lights were off, the door was closed, and she barricaded each ear with a pillow to block out any sound that might further trigger her migraine.
Hi, my name’s Donovan. I’m 17 years old and graduated this year with honors. I was raised with Christian values in mind, and attended a Methodist school. I was raised in the Christian faith yet I find myself, as with some of my friends who were raised in the same conditions, we seem to be growing farther away from our upbringing as we age. I find myself simply not understanding as time goes by, a complete polar opposite from the song ‘Farther Along’.
These groups consist of several people. These people bring several personalities, paradigms, passions, and priorities. My doctor told me some time ago that I have the power to control my level of stress and it ultimately comes down to me deciding to not allow things to stress me out. I learned that when working with others that what one person may see as urgent, may not be as important to the next person.
History teaches that early humans had a better chance of survival if they stayed in groups. The community functioned in the best interest of the whole in order to provide basic human necessities, protection, and the overall workload was delegated amongst the people of the community. These examples are all functional, but do not take into account the social experience of belonging to a group.

Lastly, groups can help push ideas into society or individuals by creating a following or likeminded individuals.
In my experience, the groups I belonged to helped shape me into who I am today. For example, I am a rather shy individual. It wasn't until I joined a weekly drum circle meditation group where those aspects of myself were less at the forefront of my personality. At first, I was shy because that is my usual temperament going into things. I am not musically inclined whatsoever, so when a friend told me to come, I was a little apprehensive but went away because I love to meditate.
Throughout my life I have come from and created a few identities for myself. Perhaps, the most dominant identities that have been apart of my life are being an athlete and being a family orientated man. In this paper I will write about how my identities have shaped my life.

After reading the article “The meaning of Social Control”, I can see how the social control effect my everyday life as it stated “No society can exist without social control”. I never really think about how being in a certain group of people could change my behaviors. I can be loud, happy, and comfortable when I see my friends from high school compare to the more serious behaviors with my co-workers. Being in one group and also in another group give me different perspectives in life and how it shapes the way I think and act. Now, I will be able to further identify each little social group contributes to a big picture of my life.
Over the last fifteen years, I have grown mentally and socially. I credit my growth to my ability to analyze and understand the world for what it is. Social imagination is the use of information to understand the world and ourselves for who we are. Possessing the quality of mind that can develop reason and the capacity to shift perspectives are the basis of social imagination (Mills 2000). As I mentioned in reflection one, I came to realize that my way of thinking is what helped me overcome living a poor lifestyle.

Throughout the course of my life, there have been many ups and downs, but these up and downs is what made me who I am today.
