Topic: Who am I?

I. Your voice is important and needs to be heard. "Voice" refers to the ability to engage in meaningful conversation, and to make a difference. It's important for a voice to have volume. What are three ways that marginalized and/or less powerful individuals can gain influence over important decisions?

II. Everyone has multiple aspects of their identity. There are primary identities and secondary identities. Provide three examples of your primary identities and three examples of your secondary identities. Share an experience that you've had where a primary identity resulted in you developing or engaging in bias thoughts, feelings or behaviors.

III. Within the world, you are part of several larger groups (e.g., your family, your community, social organizations, political clubs, professional organizations, religious groups, a generation, etc.). Using the diagram below, label each of the four circles with a group you identify as belonging to. Starting with the group you identify with the middle most and the group you identify with the least on the outside. Compare and contrast the inner and outer circle. Why do you identify as belonging with the inner circle group more than the outer circle group? Do you think this could change someday? Why or why not?

IV. Each of the groups you identify as belonging to has its own values, norms and expectations, which can be written, but more often, are unwritten. They're simply "known" - or in many cases, they are assumed to be known by all. Pick one of the groups that you belong to, and identify any values, norms, and expectations that may be written down. Then consider what values, norms, and expectations you believe the group shares that are not written down.

V. How a group treats outsiders is an often-overlooked indicator of the group's values. Often, members within a group feel comfortable with one another, so they feel that they can make remarks about outsiders that may seem harmless (e.g., ethnic jokes, sexist women, etc.) are indicative of prejudice. How would you handle the situation if you heard someone in one or more of your groups using disparaging remarks or jokes about outsiders?
