Instructions
Be sure you have completed your readings and explored all the materials in the Exploration page.
1. As you answer the questions for this discussion, define and apply the following terms:
- Narrative
- Minority
- Majority
- Dominant
- Normative
- Privilege
Each term should be cited in APA format using sources from the Explorations and Reading Assignments. This shows you have read and understood the material. Terms should not be in a list but rather integrated throughout your discussion post in paragraph form. In the case that you are unable to find a source from within the course to define a term, you may cite from other credible sources such as educational or government websites (edu, .gov). Dictionary and Wikipedia sources are NOT considered appropriate and will not be accepted.
2. In her 5-part podcast mini-series, Other: Mixed Race in America, Alex Laughlin says that "Personal identity is so often determined by the way people see you..." Give an example of a narrative that has shaped your identity. What is the narrative and how has it formed your sense of self?
3. As Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson puts it in his interview with rapper Logic, "You see things differently because other people require that of you." Explain. Do you relate to this? In what ways does your privilege (or lack thereof) connect to how you see yourself?
4. What narratives do you tell yourself and how do these shape yours identity? Further, define the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis and discuss how languages shape your personal narrative.
NOTE: You must post terminology, definitions, and APA (in-text) citations in BOLD font. This will help create clarity between what content is attributed to outside sources and what content is your original thought. Include the references at the end of your post using APA.
