I was able to relate particularly well to them because I too am Jewish. I have always been active within my jewish community. It is not so much that I feel an obligation to give back to the jewish community, it is more that I want to give back because I feel a connection to the Jewish community. I feel that it is crucial to identify oneself before you get involved in charity or anything for that matter. If you don't have a passion for what you're doing, you will not be successful at it. I also found it very interesting in the Greenstone reading when she says that women's self-confidence should lie in what they do and who they are, not their appearance. It seems that this is almost impossible in our society today. Almost every show, movie, video game, etc that is shown through any media source possesses the concept of a 'perfect woman'. The media has created a norm or a status quo for what women should look like, making it almost impossible for women not to care about their appearance. Also, with the new idea of enlightened sexism, looking good and pleasing your man are encouraged. This adds to the impossible standards created by society, making it almost impossible for women to judge themselves on internal rather than external entities.Jason Kleinmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14642744031874037697noreply@blogger.com
