Mask Reflection
Sociology: the study of how people learn or how they are influenced to act by things around them. I never thought about this word until I came to animas high school. We were thrown it to a project right off the bat. We started out just by learning the word sociology. That day our teacher told us that we were going to have a project on this word and we were supposed to talk about our Identity. At the beginning I dint think much of it. Once we got more in to the making of the mask I realized how much I could learn. From that point I started to work hard on this project.
In this project I learn a lot I dint know. Especially who I am. I learned that I think that I am greatly socialized by two people. my mom and my dad. The reason for me thinking this is because they, for one, have been there for all of my life. Another reason is because they are basically my role models.
I was really proud of my whole mask. I liked the way it came to gather. Al though my favorite part was the inside. The only reason why I like the inside better is because I think it has the strongest definition.
I think definitely my writing could use work. The reason why I think this is because I have always been a bad writer. I think definitely that this project has helped me with my writing skills. This project definitely challenged me towards my writing.

Breaking me
Socialization is a big part of every one. You may not think that it is, neither did I. Now learning about it in school I know who much it affects everyone no matter what. It shapes me and you and everyone around us. I think this is a good project for anyone who participates in it. It showed me who I am at the this moment.
On the outside of my mask there is another mask covering up the mouth. I put this mask there to show that I am a very shy person. All through my life I have never liked to talk or be open to people and I think it’s just how I was socialized. I think I am this way because I had an older sister that was a straight A’s student and I’ve all ways had bad grades through my schooling. I think that this gave my sister a lot more attention so I stopped wanting it from people.
Growing up I had many different “phases”. I used to always want to be like a friend of mine. I would buy clothes to look like him and sometimes I acted like him. I would try my hardest to be like him. I think there were probably two reasons that I would try to be like him. One, because he was very popular and well liked. Also, because I think I tried to impress him too much. I did this up until last year when I moved, then I took on another look and started to be myself. I made the scars on my mask to represent these phases.
The other part of the front mask is going be a normal face. I wanted to put this in my mask because it symbolizes that everyone is equal. This one is kind of more like a belief but I think I was socialized this way. I believe this and enforce it a lot because other people and I get a lot of negative sanctions for being ourselves and not like the other person. This is probably one of my biggest beliefs because I don’t think I can relate to many people and I think I am different. The front of my mask is the general me that I show people.
The inside my mask is half black and half white. This is to show two things. One of them is how I’ve been raised. Like my religion and my beliefs like not to be so judgmental. It shows my structure. The reason why one side is white and the other is black is to show two different sides. It shows how because I have been raised two different ways. One side by my dad and one by my mom.
I have loved every bit of this project because of many reasons. I definitely believe I have been taught something very important about myself through this project. I now look at the world differently every day. Anyone can learn from this no matter what age you are.
