Out of all the
Burkitt chapter's, I believe this one was my favorite chapter out of them all
thus far. A lot of the ideas proposed and challenges faced from these ideas are
things I have thought about completely agree with. I even found joy in
disagreeing with a couple things as well. Since I can only point out a few concepts I will talk about the ones I
found most interesting and relevant to life. The first is how society is moving
away from "I" and moving toward "we". It is hard to imagine
and see this concept in reality when everyone is wound up in themselves. But as
I thought about it more, it makes more sense because "I" is created
through the "we". Self identity is changing from what a person know
to who a person knows. The other concept that I would like to highlight which
relates to this last one is the concept of writing and rewriting one's self.
Personally, I don't think self identity can be rewritten or even erased. A
person's future is based off his or her past when trying to change oneself.
That life had an impact was a reason as to why the new life will be different.
The "old self" will always be a part of a person. The past will
always haunt.
