Using the attached resource, You as a Culturally Diverse Entity, analyze all the different sources of cultural programming you have received. These sources can include ascriptive characteristics such as your gender or your race, but they can also include the neighborhood you grew up in or adult occupations such as the military that have their own cultures that have shaped the individual you are today. Reflecting on your responses to You as a Culturally Diverse Entity:
Do you think any one cultural input has shaped your identity more than others? Do some of your different cultural inputs have conflicting values or norms? If so, how do you resolve these conflicts? Do any of your cultural inputs conflict with the norms and mores of your workplace or the dominant American work culture in general? What does the myriad of different ways a single individual can be ‘diverse' tell you about diversity in general?
