of your identities. Which are the most important to you? Why? What expectations do you think your culture shares about these different identities? How do these identities influence the way you communicate? Do any of them put conflicting pressures on you to act in different ways? How do you resolve these conflicts? If possible, discuss these issues with a group. This process is particularly useful if you can discuss these expectations with an individual or group of individuals from a different culture to see which expectations are similar and which are different.
