All of a sudden I found myself thinking sociologically when I was with my brothers and dad at my grade school's book fair last night. The books were all lined up according to their genre; fiction, non- fiction, biography etc. The books reminded me of people and the different types of groups that people, such as me, belong to. I never really noticed this but most people have a lot of roles that we are not aware of. Kind of like we don't realize that there are a lot of types of genres.
This put me thinking that maybe our roles change depending on who are with. For example, in the show survivor, Billy was the "out" group in the show but wouldn't he be the "in" group at a heavy metal concert? This got me thinking that we can have probably all of the roles that were listed on our notes. We can be part of the "in" group with the people or places in which we are most comfortable or best at. But we can also be part of the "out" group with unfamiliar places and in areas in which we are unskilled. I guess one person is actually many.
Interesting how you took a look at the fact that in and out group definitions change depending on which group of people you're around....
