Part 2: Understanding Identity
Reflect on Those who Partake in Your Life - Exercise
Questions to reflect on: When were you first aware of…
-
Cultural differences?
-
Different sexual or gender differences?
-
Individuals with disabilities?
-
Speakers of different languages?
If you are able to recall, we ask you to take some time to reflect on how this made you feel. Did you feel puzzled, excited, indifferent? How old were you when you became aware of these differences?
We now want to take this further, this may be triggering for some. We ask that you take this at your own pace, take breaks when necessary and ask for help/support as needed. We hope you see this as an opportunity to grow and learn.
In this part, we're going to explore the concept of “Identity” to better understand what this entails. We often think about the identity of others, but do not explore that of ourselves.
