The lesson on peer groups allowed me to evaluate how my relationship with peers contributed in constructing my identity. In this lesson, I found out that relationship with peers varies across stages. During adolescent period, the concept of “crowds” emerges as transformation in peer relationship happens at this stage. I learned that crowd affects one’s social relationship. How one interact with other members in the same crowd or people in other crowds is sometimes associated with crowd that he belongs to, because there are crowds that have their own lifestyles and systems in which members are expected to observe. Therefore, a person tends to conform with how his crowd is presented. In this manner, a person’s identity is constructed.
With that, I learned that I can use crowds as another approach to understand self and others. Since crowds represent the perceptions, behaviors, interest, etc.of its members; and how members interact with each others, sometimes, depends on how members perceived their crowds, evaluating my crowds and others’ crowds would give me an idea about my identity and others’.
