Blog 8 "Me++ 7-17"

Boundaries are the formula behind my comfort. My skin protects the inner me so that i don't bleed or more than that, my heart can't be seen or my emotions. It allows for my organs and tissue to work properly. This then leads to me setting a boundary to cover my nakedness to protect me from weather, temperature and being embarrassed about not having clothes on. Next, this leads to my room being a boundary for me from family and people when i want to just be in my room alone to be able to work on music, school and to be able to think efficiently. Then there is the boundary around my room which is my apartment that protects me from the outside world. There is a boundary between me and the cold, people i don't know, and from the dangers of the outside world. Another boundary is the family van that takes us from place to place and it also keeps us warm. The van can be considered a connection to get from place to place. Another boundary around me is my school that keeps me on school grounds and also my church where I'm closed in for service. All of these boundaries can and have been penetrated one way or another. Many of the connections that penetrate are the Internet, sewage, phone line, etc. And everything online is basically networked. I order items online, it gets sent to the warehouse, they send the item through UPS and UPS delivers it to me. Everything works and depends on a network. In order for information to be delivered networks are needed and the connections are what make up that network. A network can be looked at like the structure of a company, a business, or even authority. I constantly access these networks daily through the Internet, in school as a student being part of the educational structure and even as an American citizen because I'm part of the structure of this country. Another thing that dictates the life around me is time. I need to make times for everything. I need to have my school schedule so that i can plan around the time that i have available outside of school. My phone is a constant reminder to me of what needs to be done throughout my day, week, month and year. All of these things are what dictate the very society we live in.
