FIU Identity Crisis Discussion – Description
Based on the video, Incorporating race and culture with other aspects of identity, how do you think that our race and culture impact our identity? How does this, in turn, affect self-esteem? Do you believe your race and/or culture has had an impact on your own self esteem?
—OR—
Erikson introduced the idea of an “identity crisis” and James Marcia built on this work, defining four identity statuses (identity achievement, moratorium, identity foreclosure, and identity diffusion). Although your textbook briefly introduces Marcia’s work, it may be helpful to seek some outside information and to view this additional resource from youtubeLinks to an external site. for further clarification. After familiarizing yourself with the four statuses, choose a fictional character and share which identity status you believe they are in and why.
