1. I'm not entirely sure what "construct" means in this sense. I don't really know how one constructs their identity. I think that people's identity is determined by their genes and by their environment. The environment in which one grows up plays a huge role in how their personality and actions develop. I'm not sure how I construct my identity now. Maybe it is the people I hang out with and the social environments I place myself in...
2. My social environments are constructed by the friends I hang out with and their preferences on where we should go/what we should do. Sometimes we do things because it will be busy and popular, other times I just hang out with a couple of friends and watch a movie. Everyone meets people in classes, or through other friends. Those people may become really close friends and you hang out with them all the time. Other times, you have one class with them and never see them again. I guess I "construct" my social environments because I choose what classes I take and when I take them. I also choose the people I hang out with and where we go to hang out. ''
3. My physical environment/space is getting pretty deep and philosophical...I'm not really sure what I do to construct either of these. Maybe this would include recycling and volunteering, both of which help the environment and help in a small way to make the world better/cleaner. I think this topic also goes along with going "green"; preserving energy. Although, I probably don't do as good a job in this area as I should, i try to turn out the lights when I don't need them, I don't leave the water running, I take short showers, etc.
4. I guess everything is constructed in a way. It depends on how you define it, but we choose to do everything/all of our actions. I guess something that would be real would be disease/death/illness. Getting cancer isn't exactly something that is constructed.
5. I think a social scene would be interesting. Such as friends going to a concert. It would be interesting to photograph it and create a story board narrative. Something that involved a lot of movement. Then, maybe it could be turned into a flip book or a short stop motion-type film.
6. Right now, school is a large part of my life, so maybe doing a miniature stage of the campus, or part of the campus, such as the Communication arts building since I'm there most of the time. I think it would also be cool to recreate local hangout places or places that I like to go in general. Examples, Comm. arts building, Grand River Coffee, Dublin Square, my apartment, etc.
