Development of Ideas and the Truth of the Story

I felt like, perhaps I went in to my ideas more in depth without looking at why the subject area I wanted to go in was important and making this real issue real to me. Because of course it is unfortunate for people experiencing oppression but I as the creator needed a true perspective coming from myself.

A group critique of ideas so far helped me to realise maybe the subject I wanted to go in was taken from a perspective I was sympathising with rather than empathising with. Instead of the usual feeling sorry for the main characters I was choosing to focus on the issue was really more personal than I expected.
It was the feeling of guilt from me being privileged within the feminist group I was part of. Because of this, my time was spent dealing with the guilt of trying to feel and think like a moral person but no do what a oral person might do. Of course it was debatable from what some people think to what we could do to really help those that we keep talking about as being in a terrible place at the time but again it was all talk and not as much action.

I decided to look in to ideas of why I, and perhaps many other privileged  people, have such a tough time in getting out and doing something. The first few ideas which I found was the idea that many privileged people are born in to a comforting environment thus not giving them the strong backbone to go out and experience the varying life styles of other people. Whilst an upper middle class person could pay some money for different charities a month a lower middle class person may need their money for themselves. To pay for necessities to live and a few luxuries to live life happily in a world which revolves mainly around money.
My mum was raised in a Methodist, left wing family who buy us a goat for a family in Africa every Christmas, prioritise fair trade products, only buy fruits grown in season and don't allow the Daily Mail inside the house. I asked her about how there's a promotion of being moral more than there actually is the act of being moral and she explained how this was why many people with depression tend to be of a privileged background. There's the question of is someone who has no knowledge and no bother to find out about what's wrong in the world more moral than the person who knows but doesn't push themselves to try and sort those out. Then there's the question of do we really have the power to do that?

Bit by bit, this subject of the project was becoming more and more interesting and eye opening for me in finding out about myself as well as creating an issue I had not really seen in a story before. I feel like I could have asked more people about these questions, perhaps within the movement I followed. At the moment most of the questions I kept asking myself were being directed at me more than similar people. Again probably due to this idea of guilt and self criticism which is something I've become quite used to.
