When watching People’s Park in Angela’s class, I felt uncomfortable in a sense. The video was very violating of the local people doing normal human things and being treated as a spectacle– it almost made it feel like they were animals in an exhibit at the zoo to marvel at. Knowing that the people who made that documentary were two white individuals made it more questionable, it’s not being done by someone from the culture from their perspective but rather an invasive, biased view on these peoples lives.

I decided to go straight into the workforce instead of going to college. So I got a job as a security guard. It required me to get a New York State security guard license or as my boss called it a guard card which showed me the reality of being a New Yorker. I remember taking the job thinking wow this is going to be a chill job little did I know the guard card was going to show…
