Problem: Reflection
Before you begin learning about identity, reflect on what you know about identity. American singer Dolly Parton once offered this advice:
"Find out who you are and do it on purpose!"1
Write a three- to five-sentence response to her advice. Before you start writing, consider the following questions:
Why do you suppose people might need to actively think about their own identities? Need Assignment Help?
When you actively think about your identity, do you discover parts you haven't considered before?
Have any parts of your identity changed in the past five years?
After you finish your reflection, move on to learn more about how various factors-including gender, religion, ability, and privilege-contribute to a person's identity.
