Topic: Multiculturalism and Identity

Activity Title: My Multicultural Self

Instructions:
1. Write your name inside the center circle, and different social identities on the outer circles
(e.g. Catholic, Leftist, Student, Radical, and so on)
2. In one paragraph or less: Share a story about a time they were proud and painful to identify
themselves with one of the descriptors you used above.
3. Name a stereotype associated with one of the groups with which they identify that is not
consistent with who they are. Fill in the following sentence:
I am (a/an) _____________________ but I am NOT (a/an)_____________________.
(So if one of my identifiers was "Christian," and I thought a stereotype was that all Christians
are poor, my sentence would be:
I am a Christian, but I am NOT poor.

I am Christian But i am not toxic.

I am a centrist but i am not a political person.

I am a College Student but i am not pompous?

I am a human but i am not stupid?

1.) I am proud to be a Christian, when i was in quarantine, i found out my church helped with the
efforts by providing shelter to those without a place to stay.

2.) I am proud to believe both wings can have good ideas because holy crap Twitter is very toxic.

3.) I feel as though there is a sense that if one is a college student they are stereotyped as being a
romantic, entitled, person. I am glad that i chose not to meddle in things that i know nothing about, and
i’m glad that my peers know not to do that as well, instead choosing to research and understand a topic
before replying.

4.) One day i learned much about our travels into space, the tools we build in the past, etc. In this i
gained pride in my humanity, in what i was as a human, to discover what all these people built and what
we build nowadays. Many people seem to lose hope, seem to feel like the human race is a lost cause, but
dolphins don’t build dreadnaughts and gorillas don’t build spaceships. I love being human.
