PRIVILEGES
--Freedoms I possess
--Having a loving, supportive, Christian family
--Having amazing, loving friends
--Blessed with many skills, especially as an artist
--Having enough money to go to college
--White male in American society
These privileges will play a role in how I observe my subculture and the positions I take. In my first draft, I pointed out that I observed that men seem to be much more attracted to Frisbee golf than women. Being a privileged caucasian male American will definitely influence the way that I observe the sport of Frisbee golfing and some of the assumptions that I make about who plays it. Also, I feel that I have been blessed with a natural skill for Frisbee golf. This privilege may cause me make some assumptions about the game that make sense to me but not to an outsider. I have to be very careful about this because it will be very easy for me to talk to my audience as if they are a seasoned Frisbee golfer; however, they may have never played the sport in their life. I am also very comfortable with playing with my friends, and when I do research I will have to be careful to do some of it alone so that those friends do not influence my positions.
