This is an article I drafted just after watching Inside-Out 2 around Jul. 2024.
What I can’t learnt though my life is Ease that I can’t get rid off from where and how I’ve been raised up.
Was bursting into laugh when I saw the last scene of insideout 2 — The Bay Area High School, where the actress enrolled. For me, it drives the story to opposite direction compared with previous one that represent a general girl facing her problems with emotions, instead, making herself socialized under certain condition.
The process of being socialized always be cultivated by environment, which, clearly, people don’t always share same codes or face same obstacles creating anxiety, would call it sense of unease. I don’t like use the tool of Class analysis to make it more complex and tedious saying unease is not only created by being part of teammate but class struggle, but it can’t be ignored when the Bay Area High School was clearly labeled.
Being ease, naturally, is a hidden privilege especially when facing unfamiliar condition or other people with power. As it indicated by Bourdieu, it’s not only can be a habit at adolenscence though mimic, rewards&punishment. etc, end up with a natural ****character. But also, as Rivera Lauren found it is a privilege requiring interpersonal apathy and insensitivity, which also could call as , from Shamus Kahn and Annette Lareau’s **research on different class family raising their children, a sense of entitlement. Due to elite family got more resources to raise children, which could overweight children’s feeling than matters, encouraging they expressing and acting as themself, we could simply read it as people get a sense they should have something naturally without any effort. On the opposite, it called sense of constraint, which are more sensitive to read the air given the limitation of resources or power provided through growing milieu.
That’s why I feel so funny when see all those struggle Riley has between being part of those new elite gang and old country bros. Because I recall myself and realize that unease to facing those moments is still hard to get rid of.
Now let’s talk something adult, of course 🔞, just kidding.
There is always chance to learn how to be ease while it won’t be that as natural as a character after you grown up, and it’s not only cased by class. While, being ease now (as an adult) is not only make yourself like that naturally, but also make other ease. This is not only reflected in the formal, but more important in the informal occasions where the real social relationship could develop.
