Walking Journal Numero 3

Particularly on a university campus, demographics are important factors in the makeup of a neighborhood and/or society. Even though segregation was outlawed decades ago, we still see certain race and gender groups sticking close together, most of the time subconsciously. The most obvious of these distinctions on campus is the presence of fraternities, sororities, and selective clubs.



Looking closer however, we see many advertisements and decorations around campus that might either intentionally or unintentionally appeal to a certain ethnicity or gender.


Alright guys, I'm about to stereotype the crap out of these next points.

Admittedly, there are different majors and different areas of study that tend to attract different groups of people. For instance, MOST (not all) men tend to go into a math/science field, while women tend to lean towards the English and writing fields.

The same goes for different races, as well. One ethnic group may be superior in a particular academic subject, while another may prefer a more artistic route. Disclaimer: Of course this is not true for EVERYONE; one can be of Asian origin and still be very adept at dancing. It's been done before, but don't ask me to name an example.

As far as who is considered "out of place" in a society, that is all based purely on perception. We are all out of tune in some aspect of society and there isn't a single person who is like another. We are just as much of an outcast as the next person and we attract our acquaintances based on how similarly different we are. Mind=BLOWN.
