Creatively Exploring Identities

Welcome to Making Waves

Here are some things you might want to ponder to help create your identity piece (please feel free to add more in the comment box):

  • Sexuality/Gender: “what is the difference sex and gender?” “are there more than just male and female?” “how do you express your sexuality?” “are there good and bad ways to express sex and gender?
  • Class: “is class only an economic entity?” “is woman a class?” “what class are you a part of, and what makes you a part of it?”
  • Culture/ Ethnicity: “how do you participate in your culture?” “do you consider yourself part of more than one culture/ ethnicity?”
  • Effects of Assimilation: “what’s it like to be a minority in mainstream culture ?”
  • (trans) nationality/ borders: “what and where are your boundaries and/or borders?” “is it possible to fully participate in more than one nationality?”
  • Religion: “is it possible to create your own religion?” “what do agree or disagree with in terms of religion?”
  • Family: “what for you constitutes and family?” “what family roles do you agree/disagree with?”
  • Media: “does media shape your identity?” “is it possible to live outside the influence of media?”
