Critical Analysis #3 - My Political Space

There are places that I really feel comfortable. For me, silence is my comfort zone. Environment does help to boost my mood. It is my thing to walk around the places to have my comfort. I always like to walk to some places that I do not usually go to because I feel it as an unwind and relaxation. I sometimes go to football fields where there are only few people or sit near the swimming pool in my condo at night while watching the moonlight. It is really peaceful at night especially when all the people are inside their own houses.

Starbucks and DLSU Library, are one of places that I feel my comfort zone since both has the lighting that I prefer. It is funny that I prefer a specific place in order for me to have a specific comfort zone. I prefer Starbucks Torre Lorenzo 1 when I am studying for my business majors while DLSU Library when I am studying and making papers for my liberal arts majors. The Starbucks Torre Lorenzo gave me the mood of being a business student because of its environment that is very busy. When you look outside, you will see the reality of life that every seconds matters. In DLSU Library, I feel the comfort of getting new ideas and questioning the thoughts in my mind. What I usually feel when I am in DLSU Library is being serious, an analyst or consultant who will evaluate a certain case. It is the place where I have the mood to set my stand.

I cannot deny that sometimes, I feel discomfort in the campus because I feel that there are many eyes looking at my actions. It is not that I have done wrong but it is just not my thing to be an attention-seeker to people. Sometimes I tend to camouflage with people. I do not want all eyes in me. The places that discomfort me is the fastfood chains especially McDo in Taft since the place is so noisy and there are plenty of people which I do not really know or feel that I do not have any connection with.

           There are plenty of forms that I exercise my politics, one of them is the decision-making. Whenever there is a situation in our house that is more of critical, my family is asking for a consensus, that consensus should be answered by all of the members of our family. After answering it, there will be a forum that will involve about the effects, advantage and disadvantage of choosing a specific action.  The spaces that mostly exercise my politics is my house because I believe that opinion’s of every member of the basic unit of society is important. Being able to question all the decisions that is being made by my family makes my politics more open to more ideas. I also find my politics in school specifically in the room. The settings of a room is very competitive, everyone wants to have a high grades, everybody is competing each other’s idea especially when we try to learn new things but may end up contradicting with your own view. It is always the place where I have to prove and be consistent with my stand.
