As we all come from different backgrounds and beliefs as well as morals which than shape us into being the people we are in society. therefore the way a person dresses, eats and even behave classify how that particular person grew up and carries themselves around society. however, speaking of what my teachings and beliefs consist of and how I believe they endogenous to my ethnic group. I would say firstly state that I am south African based in Durban and I'm Zulu of which as I am Zulu we tend to have many beliefs that can not only be statements but something that could happen to us and become true it's basically a fact such as the fact that in my culture we have a belief that if your upper right eye twitches you will see someone you haven't seen in a long time or even receive money and if you dream of red meat someone close to you will pass away. however, in Zulu speaking of the teachings it would be that if your parents or guardian teaches you not to look at another adult in the eye when being spoken to as it states a sign of respect and the teachings of being taught to obey the rules being told as they will groom me to be the women I will be in future. and these teachings have shaped me in a way that when people meet me, they look at me as a person with respect and morals as well as knows what they want in life because the way you carry yourself sets a message of how people perceive you in society or wherever you may go to.
reflecting on my kinship networks of my social life would be that in my life my mom plays a strong role in my life being supportive and loving and having to exchange the fact that no matter how dull things may be like a blue Monday she holds her children together with great agony. as stated in the study unit that kin centered relationships tend to be more lasting than non-kin-based relationship because they create a better obligation for a longer period when evoked. and with all that being classified I would say my father plays a network reflection as well in terms that he is me I am him and I say it that way because we have the same personality he plays a part in my life so huge and spontaneous in such a way that he dislikes lazy people who give up easily for him it's all about investing he's daughters into education because he's all about that success. and then my younger sister who is basically a mini me she is a part of my networks in a way that she looks up to me and we share a stronger bond now that she's grown, and I am far from her. however, my granny who is a huge part of my networks sincerely because I relate to them in terms of her being so warm and kind towards people to a point whereby the entire community loves and respects her as well as gives her gifts and share, they story with her which is the beauty in that. as I am a person who prefers less friends and generally because I prefer it that way since I'm an introvert person the friend I have plays a profound role in my life since not having an friendship in life is not a great idea but she shows up so much in my life and is always there I feel like I've met her a long time ago because we practically have the same personality and it works out easier and great. the study unit embolises how the resources to sustain a long-term relationship of the type associated with kin networks were stated as scarce. I would also say art as much as art is not a human being but it reflects so much on my reflective network because art entails a message and on how you express your emotions and what you feel at that particular time and get to a point of painting or sketch drawing to exchange ways and a meaning basically art work creates a beautiful place in my heart and comforts me in so many ways as well as heal me and a place of distressing when I have days like a blue Monday. however, with all being said music plays an amazing role in my life and my networks I state music as a part of my networks because I see and feel music as a work of art especially jazz and soul.
to explain my social experiences and what happens on my daily life is that I wake up every morning around 08:00 and prepare to take a shower and then once I done, I move on to eating my cereal and then I fix my hair and iron my cloths. however, my classes begin at 09:30 from Monday to Wednesday and end around 13:00 so once I'm done, I head to class, and I find the class lessons interesting and fun since we are interacting with each other and noticing in terms of social experiences would be that students tend to enjoy each other's companies while being busy with the phones which is quite weird and interesting this happens most especially on campus. therefore, after class since I don't have friends at all I head to my residence and have a quick snack and go through the work we went through in class and once I'm done with that, I watch some Koreans because they funny and distress a lot so once I finish that I than go on to rest around 17:00 and wake up around 18:39. once I've waken up I wash my face and prepare to study since I have a study timetable it helps me to be more organised and prepared so I study and once I'm done I go to my friends room and we take a walk together to buy ice cream and I've noticed many students tend to buy takeaways rather than cooking. once we come back in the residence, we than go back to our rooms and continue studying once I'm done with that I than watch something that's short and funny but not a movie since it will generally take longer as I wait to pray around 00:00. when I'm done praying, I move on to preparing for the next class and my classes on Thursdays start around 13:00 and end around 16:00 and on Friday they start around 14:30 and end around16:00 as well and my days are just going to class spending time with my friend and watching funny videos listening to music and going to sleep as well as studying. however, on Saturdays I tend to also study or do a quiz due on a Sunday and just spend the day indoors I'm an introvert so studying alone where there's not many people are the best for me, and which is why I only have one friend. on Sundays I don't go to church simply because the church I go to back home is not around here and so I proceed to relaxing since it's a Sunday than later on prepare to cook a Sunday meal because back home on Sundays we cook a very special meal since it's a Sunday and just because Sunday meals have to be the best and so I do the same when I'm not near home which is cooking a Sunday meal I will enjoy and once I done I eat than prepare myself for Monday classes and then take a shower and get to my bed and prepare to sleep and wake up the next day for the similar routine I do.
