speech on our place in society

Answer:
I don't know this question
Answer:
Often times we think about our place in society, and how our society forms our sense of belonging. I think it is necessary to define “our society” first. Whether it be American society as a whole, or just the 500 people that make up the SLA community. The difference between the two is significant in my eyes, but could be subtle in someone else’s.
When I was younger I lived in a suburban republican-friendly neighborhood. I would consider it to be a spectrum of different societies in my life. Each of which I have to put on an identity mask in. By identity mask, I mean a lens that people will see me through depending on how I would like to be perceived. I always considered who I was with, and it seems everyone is like that to an extent. In a teenager’s life, you could say there are four different lenses. The “I want to be cool around my friend’s” lens, “I want to be respectable around my teachers and authority figures” lens, “I want to be myself” lens, and “I can do whatever I want online” lens.
