For this journal assignment, you will explore your own identities by addressing the following:
Considering at least three of your core identities, give an example of how each impacts (or is noticeable in) your daily life. 1. Race(black)
2. Experience( over 20 years in the u.s. Army)
3. Gender (female)
Of the identities you listed above, which has contributed most to your overall identity? Does the identity you feel is most significant in your life vary depending on the social context you may be in? In other words, does the identity you feel is most important vary throughout the day depending on the social situation you are in? Be sure to explain why or why not.
Thinking about these three identities, do you feel that your membership in these groups leads you to experience certain privileges or certain inequalities in our society? Give examples of these privileges and/or inequalities.
