Priveleged Authenticity
Today we had an outdoor class at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) which I was looking forward to. Who wants to be inside of a classroom with no windows and fluorescent lighting? I certainly do not, but unfortunately as a university student, majority of the time I have no choice. So today was a refreshing change of scenery!
I have to admit, when I received the instructions for the first activity I wasn’t too enthused and I didn’t understand what the point was. I think I was fixed on needing to understand what the link of the activity was in relation to the course. When the sheet read to draw your surroundings and make a map with labels or a legend I immediately thought there is no way I am going to do that. I actually do like to draw and do artistic things, but not like this. So I decided I would pass on that and instead I just focused on exploring the surroundings of where Mitchell (the professor) took us.
I walked around with two classmates to take a look at the front of the building and while we were there we decided to head across Rene Levesque and explore the park across the street. I looked up the name of it when I got home because I was curious and it’s called Ernest Cormier Esplanade. It turns out that of course the park was named after a real person, Ernest Cormier, a memorable Montreal Canadian engineer and architect. Apparently he was listed a National Historic Person by the Canadian government and left a legacy through his style of architecture. So theres a random fun fact about the city of Montreal that I now know! (although, I don’t know how many people will actually care or find that interesting..?)
As the three of us sat on some steps at Ernest Cormier we began chatting together getting to know each other better. One of my classmates shared a bit about her cultural background and her experience as Canadian born in a religious muslim family. As someone who grew up with no religious influence in my family or deep cultural traditions, listening to her talk about her experiences was very interesting to me. I’ve always been a intrigued listener when it comes to people sharing things about themselves and their lives. I find the world of humans and different lives so fascinating!
My dad likes to say we’re a product of our environment and I think there is some truth to that. I believe our environment definitely impacts who we are and plays a huge role in the life we live and who we become. Sometimes we don’t have a choice other than what has been laid out infront of us from the environment we’re in; just like the culture or religion we might be born into. When I have had conversations with people who are from religious backgrounds I have noticed that there are many rules that even if they question them or would like to rebel, they feel like they can’t or that it’s just not an option.
To me this is an example of how our environment can shape who we are. And it makes me wonder about our identity and how much of our identity is truly our authentic self. To what extent are we able to live our lives authentically? Do some more than others get the opportunity and/or privilege to live more authentic than others? I think naturally humans are constantly forced into making choices as a byproduct of circumstances that were out of their control to begin with. So even if they made a choice from within their own autonomy, that choice may still not be 100% what they would truly want to choose if they had other options.
For example, someone growing up in a religious family who feels compelled to rebel against the religious norms because they feel like they don’t fit in or agree with the religion. Or maybe they feel drawn to different religious ideologies. Or maybe they feel like the circumstances they were born with wouldn’t be what they would have chosen. But due to the reality of the environment they live in, they might feel like they don’t have another choice so they continue to mould who they are to be what they know is acceptable.
I think the degree in which this type of individual will be able to live their life authentically will certainly be smaller than someone who chooses to rebel or who is born into circumstances that allow them more freedom of individual choice. But can anybody ever truly live a 100% authentic life? I think if everybody had the opportunities and privileges to sit and think about who they want to be and what kind of life they want to live despite their born circumstances, then act and make choices off of those thoughts, maybe we would be living in a world filled with truly authentic individuals. I do honeslty beleive that being able to live your life being who you truly are and want to be is a shared desire of many people. However, I also believe the world and life in general is much more nuanced and complex than that, and unfortunately the reality is that a lot of people don’t have these privileges or opportunities.
