Something I Learned About the Community

After this week’s reading, I learned that people’s aspirations directly correlate to their civic places, concerns, the people they do and do not associate with, their “place,” sources, and stereotypes, but there is a very specific correlation between people aspirations and their civic place.
People aspire on the behalf of themselves and people in their current situation. For example, a person may aspire to become a company manager because of the pay raise (the behalf of themselves) and the opportunity to make certain company policies more applicable to its employees (the behalf of others).
How does it relate to others? Keeping in mind the previous example, the workplace is a civic place because it is a place where people get together and talk. Also, there is usually a company dress code and behavior policy (norms). There is much more diversity in the work place now than there was 20 years ago, but that does not isolate employees from each other, it allows them become more aware on other people’s perspectives.
