1. Become more conscious of the identity groups you belong to, both voluntary and involuntary. Which are most important to you? Also become more conscious of the cultural values of your family. What sayings did your mother and father repeat to you (“Just because so-and-so does something doesn’t mean you have to do it too!”)? Which values were emphasized and communicated in your family? How do you think these values influenced the way you perceive other cultural groups? How did they influence your communication with others who are different from you?
