Introduction:
As I make my way through the first semester of my first year at university, the abundant stress and seemingly never ending pressure has start to toy with my sense of competency. With this in mind, I start to recognise the vital importance of the maintenance and establishment of relationships on several levels. 
 

The innermost level of my circle:
In reference to my personal experiences and relationship dynamics, I would describe my inner circle as what one could consider my closest confidantes. Those with insight to the deepest workings of my mind, a practical extension of my own knowledge and experiences. This level of relationships is described as intimate which are considered my most valuable. Comprised of my mother and partner. 

The second level of my inner circle:

If we expand further to those on the hypothetical second level of my circle, are those who I maintain a meaningful yet restricted relationship with. Not necessarily infinitely unconditional but definitely a source of comfort and peace outside of my own personal life. Those who I run to for a biased opinion during a stressful day, such as my closest friends and youngest brother.
 

The third level of my circle:
When approaching a more outer component of my relationships we find the third level of my interpersonal relationships. Mostly lying closer to a conditionally superficial extent. Those who the interaction is maintained almost purely based on compulsory expectations due to a specific relation between myself and said party - such as what is considered close family and relatives. Within my own personal experience I would allocate two of my elder siblings and their respective partners as well as my father, to this slot.

The final level of my inner circle:

On the outer level of my interpersonal circle are those who I have a somewhat meaningless relationship with. Those with a limited understanding of my individuality. Nor do I have a clear understanding of them to any sort of certain extent. The knowledge of one another is often conveyed through a third party but relations are maintained, once again, because of prerequisites based on a previously compulsory established relations. My grandmother, stepmother and three eldest siblings would stand on this bordering line of my circle. 
 

Conclusion:

Further more I have concluded that the levels at which I place my friends and family in my circle corresponds to the intimacy that flows between myself and said individual. The relationship that is established by means of interaction, knowledge and understanding of one another. 

• Stereotyping as a Society:

Misconceptions, misalignments and seized-endeavours are simple yet misunderstood words to describe a concept so complexly negative, that it has torn what makes us a civilisation, apart. Stereotyping, is it our Achilles heel? It depends on your chosen audience. The power hungry gain a sense of personal satisfaction from the degradation of difference and the submissive kneel as a lack of voice, that leads us as moths attracted to the violence of light. Light being routine; passed on and re-taught as familiarity to those who crave Eurocentrism.

• Othering vs. It’s subjects:

What makes us different? The colour of our skin, the representation of the ground we step on or the extent to which we desire control? Opinions are consistent when environments are maintained and mundane. In modern day society, when the colonised are born on the grounds of the Eurocentric, they do not seem to be at a political loss compared to those who are inherently blessed with the privilege of being the standardised default - of a region. Or are we programmed to comply to the system that supports the dehumanisation of the individuals that thrive and survive depending on the pack of cards they were dealt at birth.

• Is othering a predetermined characteristic?

Anti-Semitism, Exoticism and Western supremacy is not a genetic requirement but a developed trait, as old as human kind. To aid in the establishment of an invisible wall of power, that separates and suppresses unity, that we desire as beings of the Socialist. Social Anthropology depends on how the Anthropologist perceives themself in the fundamental context of those who are being observed, the explanation of others (othering) is a sense of perception of self in relation to how you were subconsciously influenced to perceive ethnicity, position, class and status. Were you made to celebrate it or shame it, thank your Ancestry.
