REFLECTION (Post 7)

 I feel that for the small section on the influence of being labeled  that I researched that I have gained some perspective. What I wanted to get out of this this project was some awareness that could let everyone know that their peers share their feelings and that everyone relatable on some level no matter what race or gender. Also, to raise awareness in ourselves because hopefully these surveys pushed people to think about the influence of feelings on their personality. I have gained some insight within myself, because now I can recognize the feelings more clearly in order to change them and not let them affect me as much. Self-consciousness is something that everyone deals with at least once in their life, whether its speaking in front of a crowd or being taller then everyone. I hope that everyone who participated in this survey realized how many people are relatable that we wouldn't necessarily have thought. Also if everyones more aware maybe they will understand their influence on someone else's perception of them self. The project over all I feel was successful even though I know there is so much more to learn. 

Socially I hope my peers gain more understanding about self-consciousness and that others relate maybe they will in turn refrain from sharing comments that would make someone feel that way, because at this point its relatable. Basically, if everyone stepped back and understood the affect of others perceptions on them, then everyones perception of self would be defined solely by that person. What tends to happen is loss of self and if we can gain that back everyone will walk with more confidence and treat people better in the long run.
