Assignment 2 - The Identities Exercise

Task: Take a few minutes to think about your primary sources of identity (sub
identities).
1. First simply list the roles (see the below template for help)
2. Next, for each area define how this sub identity defines your self-concept.
3. Finally, describe how each influences your priorities and your actions
especially, in relation to your work.
Objective:
The goal of this exercise is to help you think about two things. First, from the
standpoint of significant others (your teachers, family members, supervisors) of
your sub identities, what you do, and how you do it? Second, from a social
identity perspective, how does your affiliation with certain groups influence the
way you act and the you view the world?
