The way I act today has been influenced tremendously by the things I do, and whom I do them with. When hanging out with the guys I could act spontaneous and not care about others thoughts of me. While around those who are not as close to me I may act shy or like I'm holding back. I've noticed throughout life, certain aspects of society has morphed my way of acting or thinking to what is right and what is wrong. For example, I never thought I would be blogging. After keeping an open mind I realized it isn't all that bad. Today in this day and age, technology has become a major aspect of communication. I believe how much you communicate or what you talk about is correlated by your gender. Being a male I feel as though I don't talk as much as a female. This isn't always true for everyone. Sometime different social groups talk more than others. Social groups are all different and society all thinks of them differently, some bad or some good. I for one don't think that how much you talk can be because of your race. Although some may talk more than others around you, they may talk all the time around someone else. Whom someone talks to may be judged due to their race. Society always has their say on things, although many are false stereotypes many follow these and have run their life to correspond to their likes.
