For this paper, you will be interviewing someone who you feel is culturally different from you. When choosing which culture/cultural differences to focus on, you should look at the various ways people construct their identities that are influenced by society and culture (see Chapter Four-Identity and Intercultural Communication).

In your analysis, you should focus on these areas:

Question 1: First, how does this person feel their self-concept/identity was developed on a more personal level? How did reflected appraisal, significant others, and/or social comparison influence their self-concept/identity?

Question 2: Second, how has their self-concept/identity been influenced by societal and/or cultural influences? Which of the identities we discussed do they feel they relate to the most? Why? Be specific/give examples. (Identities to consider: Gender, Sexual, Age, Racial/Ethnic, Physical Ability, Religious, Class, National, Regional. You are also welcome to discuss the ideas of minority/majority identity development, multiracial identity, global nomads and my "other" category in helping you to explain their point of view.)

Question 3: Finally, how does this affect their worldview and/or communication with others? (Think back to how you answered this on your "Who Do You Think You Are?" paper to aid you in asking them about THEIR worldview and/or communication with others.)
