    I think I tend to take more of an interpersonal approach than a group approach towards life. Group theory is a perception of society but it isn’t the only one. Generally speaking i want equitable treatment for all people regardless of the groups they happen to belong to. That’s to say I’m more individual focused than group focused. Just because someone is in a group doesn’t mean they specifically have faced any hardships in relationships to that group. In many and arguably in any country the determining factor is wealth and the power of one’s social networks. Like an individual in Kenya can most definitely avoid any issues whatsoever with their race if they are wealthy and powerful enough. I couldn’t say just because they are Somalian that they suffered the same prejudice that a poor Somalian in Kenya has. Group theory though does have a place when one is talking about statistics aka large amounts of people who share a group more so than an individual. Both perception are right and neither is wrong for the other being right.
