Writing a family autobiographical sketch for my Gender & Family class. Feels weird to analyze my fmaily using theories and critically examining all aspects of my life thus far.
But I think uni has taught me to think more deeply about issues.. Things that seems to occur "naturally" actually does comes as a product of certain circumstances and social arrangments. So when people say things are 'fated', I think it would be more accurate to say that things are arranged. Maybe fate has a part in which family we are born into, but it is the humans who are respobsible for shaping the family experience.
So am I right to say my parents moulded me into who I am today? haha.. I will be blasted for making such a conclusion. bleagh.
Each agent, wittingly or unwittingly, is a producer and reproducer of meaning... it is because subjects do not know what they are doing that what they do has more meaning than they know. --- Bourdieu---
