Continuity
vs Discontinuity
I quickly thought of
continuity vs discontinuity being a perfect for my blog topic because I was
able to compare myself to this topic in chapter one. When I think back when I
was young, I was continuously a person that was not afraid of saying what was
on my mind. I was a very out spoken person, it didn’t matter to me if I was
hurting other peoples feeling or not. My mother made me feel like I was always doing
something wrong; she was worried that because I was so out spoken, I was
hurting other people’s feelings. Because of various problems I had with my
parents, I became rebellious through my teenage years; doing bad thing to fulfill
what I had lost by my parents divorcing. Being vocal and expressing my thoughts
and feeling never went away but being rebellious did.
So that being said…..
I can compare continuity with a part of me that
I haven’t lost. What has stuck with me and makes me who I am today. I still can
say what’s on my mind when I feel that it’s necessary. Therefore I have to
admit that sometimes I say things without thinking and I find myself later
thinking; “should I have said that”? This is not always good.
I can compare
discontinuity with being rebellious, with issues that brought out being rebellious
at that time. So that is being discontinuity where I suddenly became that way opposed
to not always being that kind of person.
I think it's cool how you could use your own life as an example for continuity vs. discontinuity, it makes me think about my own "timeline" and compare when i was very young to now, where i cant really think of anything that has really changed about me, except being more independent and self motivated.
ReplyDeleteI also think it's really great that you could use a personal example to apply this theory. To me, the only way to make sense of abstract theories is to apply them to something personal. And wonderful for you that you have noticed your behavior and "outgrown" to say, your rebellion. Kudos for opening up!
ReplyDeleteI also agree that this is a great example to bring this theory to life. I, on the other hand, have noticed that I have always been more reserved and kept things in that I probably should've said or wished later I would've said. I think, though, the older I get, the more I know that I am going to miss out on something great if I don't speak up. Thanks for sharing!
