Identity?

Consider the picture at the top of this page that describes different sources of identity. Which one is the biggest influence on your identity? Also, you can add any comments on our conversation about "lumping" together different nationalities by race.

Family and belief are the biggest influences on my identity because what I believe makes up who I am as a person. Also what my family believes makes up who I am because they have positive influences on me.

THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON MY IDENTITY IS FRIENDS AND FAMILY. THEY REPRESENT MY IDENTITY BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT I’VE BEEN THROUGH AND THEY ARE THE ONES THAT KNOW ME THE BEST.

I think that identity is what you feel your identity is. Race, the way you were raised or the background that you grew up in doesn't mean that you are a certain race. I think your identity is whatever you want it to be. As long as it's suitable. nothing outrageous. ;)

I think that my friends and family can describe me best because the people that im with reflect me. My family describes me because they raised me. We all believe in the same things and we are a laid back family. They describe me best.

The ones that have the most impact on my life are beliefs, friend’s family, work and hobbies. I choose those particular ones because I think in a way they make me. Meaning they can describe me in so many ways because I love to be around family and friends that’s what make me happy and keep me motivated. Also beliefs because I believe in a lot of things especially in love that is the most strong thing and incredible thing that can happen to someone. I also choose work and hobbies because while im young I would like to practice what I want to do while im young so I can get better at what I want to do when I grow up......

When I think of identity I think of my family and even my friends. I think of them because they have had an overwhelming influence on who I have grown up to be. Not all of them have been positive influences, but there have been more good influences on me than bad. It reflects my identity and who I am because I am them.

The one that I choose is choice. I say that because everything in the world is choice.

I think African Americans shouldn't say things that they wouldn't want White people to say because either way it comes out ignorant and derogatory. Things that aren't nice people shouldn't say them at all

I agree with kayla because they do reflect on you if you hang out with people that are disrespectful other will think you are also.

Faith said...
