Privileges:
19, American citizen (many freedoms), Female, White, Christian, Freshman at BSU, Living in the dorms, Financial help
These are just a few of the many things that influence my research. Being a 19 year old, American female says a lot. In order for me to be doing this research, I have to rely upon many of these influences. Being an American is probably the biggest influence because I am researching the Christian lifestyle and in many countries it is illegal to even talk about. Freedom of religion is huge and I believe that I was blessed to be born in a country that offers freedom of religion and speech. Another big one would definitely be the financial help that I receive. If I didn’t have the financial help I wouldn’t be sitting here conducting my own ethnography or have the luxury of living on campus. The things that I have listed above are all privileges that I cannot imagine living without.
