Post a quotation from each essay that stood out to you and explain how, taken together, the readings and especially the quotations you chose help you understand the ways in which your sense of your identity is shaped by the culture you live in and the expectations or beliefs of the people around you.
Are you ever at odds with this process? What, if anything, would you like to change about this process of identity creation?
