This week we have defined culture as well as personal, social and cultural identities, summarized nondominant and dominant identity development, and explored the reasons that difference matters in the study of culture and identity. In this discussion board, we will explore how all we learned about in the reading applies directly to ourselves and our interpersonal relationships.
Part One: Please respond the questions below making sure to draw upon the information you have learned throughout this module. Please write in a way that encourages your reader to reflect and be motivated to engage with you in a discussion. Be thorough by supporting your assertions with evidence,making direct reference to course concepts, and using course terminology throughout.
Describe a situation in which someone ascribed an identity to you that didn’t match with your avowed identities. Why do you think the person ascribed the identity to you? Were there any stereotypes involved? Explain. PRO TIP: Make sure your response shows a clear understanding of ascribed and avowed identities.
Review the section of this week’s reading that explains why difference matters. Discuss the ways in which difference may influence how you communicate in each of the following contexts: at school, at work, and with friends.
Part Two: Engage in a discussion with no fewer than two of your classmates. Strive to have a conversation with at least one person by commenting early and returning a day or two later. Your response should engage in a meaningful way with your classmates’ responses to one or both of the questions. Be sure to write in a way that engages the reader and evokes further discussion (following the 3CQ format you learned about last week is a great way to do this).
