It is my hope that this exercise serves as a tool to help you reflect on your identity throughout the course, particularly in relation to the Photo Elicitation Project. This assignment is about how our various cultural identities shape our behaviors, our leadership style, communication, and beliefs as members of society. It will require you to examine: • The cultural patterns (Kohl’s Cultural Values & Hofstede’s Dimensions of Cultural Value) that reflect and predict your culture’s general beliefs and values. • The beliefs, values, and norms that you have been taught as a member of your culture and groups. This is not to be an autobiography or the story of your family’s history. Think of this assignment as an ethnography (a qualitative methodology) of a culture and its members in which you describe and interpret the attributes and members’ behavior to those who are not familiar with them. The twist is that the subject culture/s is your own, and the attitudes, values, beliefs, and behavior you are examining are your own. Since you’ll be writing about your specific Communal Identity, no citations from our textbook or other sources can be used. No one has written about your specific Communal Identity before, therefore any citations from our textbook or other sources will be inaccurate as they deal only with national identities. The elements of culture that are to be reflected in your 3-page assignment are as follows: 1. Communal Identity: Your culture’s or your co-culture’s beliefs, values, and norms; not just yours! Communal means “shared,” so you’ll share these beliefs, values and norms with those who share your communal identity. 2. The name of your culture or co-culture. Your communal identity consists of your culture and the specifics you were born into in the five categories below: • Ethnicity • Gender • Generation • socioeconomic status • region of birth or where you spent the majority of your life. 3. Kohls’ Values Americans Live By What are these and how do they show up for those who share your communal identity? (remember to view these as contrasts, e.g. Personal Control over the Environment vs. Fate) 4. Hofstede’s Indices: What are these and how are they apparent for those who share your communal identity? 5. Social/Relational Identities The specific organizations and groups that have shaped you and how they have shaped you. Identify each of the groups you belong to, or have belonged to, and what effects they have had on your behavior and your communication with: family • religion • schools • jobs • clubs, interest groups • sports. 6.
