week 7...post 7

I think that by doing my fieldwork, and doing my research on the subculture of smoking, it may disban some of the stereotypes that are out there for smokers. Even though I am not going to directly cover stereotypes in my paper, by researching in a professional matter, and not writing in a biased light, hopefully by writing the truth exactly as it happens, any readers will be able to see the truth and base their opinion on that rather than what they have heard. The only thing that my community needs, is a better reputation. The only way I can give them that, is if I do my fieldworking in a unbiased manner, and write down the truth as it is. That way when people read it they can form their own opinion. My contribution to the community is little if any, my contribution in class is that I participate in group discussions, and I'm not afraid to say what I am thinking about or wrote down on our blogs, and my contribution to my education is that I am trying really hard to get good grades, as to get a good job someday.
