Step one
Answer the following questions in full.  Remember that your responses should be as tangible as possible, meaning that your application of concepts (like self or everyday forms of resistance) should include real-life descriptions from society written in such a way that your reader can visualize (i.e., pinpoint, further research, relate to, etc.) what you are describing.
What is the self?  How does the self change over time?
What is meant by everyday forms of resistance?  Define the concept (you can use your previous assignment here) by sharing an experience about how you (or someone else you know) engaged in everyday forms of resistance within a social institution apart of your or their life.  Why did you (or they) do this and what was the outcome for your (or their) sense of self?  
Although it may appear to be a micro-level concept, end your post by theorizing about how everyday forms of resistance can lead to more macro-level (social/structural) changes (note: this is something we will explore in more depth next week).  Do so by bringing in ideas from this week’s lessons on work, identity negotiations, etc. (so many creative ways you can go about this).
