SDSU Identity Discussion

 

Learning Goal: I’m working on a communications discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

  1. Describe a situation in which someone ascribed an identity to you that didn’t match your avowed identity. Why do you think the person ascribed the identity to you? Were there any stereotypes involved? What was your reaction? (NOTE: avowed/ascribed identity doesn’t have to simply focus on race/ethnicity/nationality, but can include any other parts of your cultural identity such as gender, sexuality, and class, etc.) (at least 125 words)
  2. Read one of the following articles. Briefly summarize the article then identify and explain at least two reasons why it is a segregated, contested, or hybrid cultural space. What is your position on the issue? (at least 125 words)
