What is your cultural identity

It is time to apply what you have learned. Within this unit, you have learned that culturalism has a global context. For this assignment, you must find a person who you know is different from you in ways that might mean your worldviews are incredibly different. Sometimes this is a person who is older than you, from a different generation, or from a different racial or sexual orientation group. Make some time to conduct an interview asking the person the questions listed below.

- What is your cultural identity?

- How was your cultural identity developed?

- Have you faced stigma based on your social identity? Please describe these effects.

- Does your status on this identity facet hold power in the United States? (For example, if you identify as a man, your gender is a group that holds power in the United States today.)

- What messages do you get about this identity facet in the media or from other information readily available? Do you agree or disagree with these messages?

- What values, strengths, or beliefs do you think come along with your identity in this area?

- What influenced your worldview?

- How do you react to different worldviews?

- How might you interact with a person whose worldview is incredibly different from yours?
