Identity Paper

his written assignment should be 4 pages-long, 12-pt-font, 1-inch margin all around, double-spaced. You will be graded based on the articulation of your ideas and analysis!

THIS IS ABOUT YOU! I WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICES! BE HONEST & TRUTHFUL!

This paper should NOT be a summary of your life but a critical explanation/ analysis/ assessment of meaning of your racial/ethnic identity in the context of your presence in the U.S.

This identity paper is about developing an introspective analysis of who you are and how you have become yourself. More precisely, I want you to think critically and reflect on the process by which you have developed your identity. There is NO RIGHT or WRONG! Knowing that race, ethnicity and other identification markers are socially defined, what are the meanings associated with who you are, about what you are trying to achieve and the struggles you face everyday?
