yes, I'm watching you.
hahaha. I know my title is kind of creepy but point blank it is a true statement. You are always being watched, whether it is by me is a different story. But somewhere, somehow, someone has there eyes on you and are judging what you wear, how you talk, who your friends with, etc. Most people like to say they live in a judgement free world but seriously..I find that hard to believe. I am not saying judgement is bad because a lot of the times you may get a nice compliment, but judgement is an opinion. this whole idea of judgement and watching was sparked from an activity we did in soc class this week. I was in a group that choose a research method of obervation. we had a "good" girl and "bad" boy walk up to an all asain table and an all girl table during lunch and yes at different times. We were testing the effects of appearence and gender. The people at both tables didn"t really interact with the student that sat at their tables but as soon as said student left they would start giggling or talking again. this showed me, the observer, that judgements may not be said but are always occuring and not until a situation is comfortable are they spoken about.

I agree people are always judging the people around them good or bad. I bet half of the lunch tables didn't even know you were were watching them. I also would think that some of the tables were probably watching you and you didn't know it. That is interesting that the people at the tables didn't even say hello or question the student that sat down with them.
ReplyDeletePatryk sitting down at that table was the best hong I've ever seen. Anyways, I realized the same thing during my research. It's pretty messed up
