We all have identities. We perceive our own identity. Others perceive an identity and associate it with us. These may or may not be the same thing. This assignment is designed to have you critically consider the similarities and differences between how you perceive yourself and others perceive you.
Some questions to consider. How is our identity formed? To what extent are we defined by our talents, tastes, and interests? To what extent are we defined by our membership in a particular ethnic group, race or our religion? To what extent are we defined by the nation where we were born or our heritage? Also consider your gender and/or sexual orientation.
Your goal is to create as complete an image of how identity is perceived, as well as how personality is constructed.
