What were your impressions of the first class? Are we our Name, our Family, our Sex, our Nationality or our Location? If not, then what is responsible for our identity? Do we have an identity apart from our community?
My impression on the first class was that it seems like its going to be one of my favorite classes. I like the debates we have, and the people in my class seem like they wont get to defendsive. I belive ourr names or our nationality or what not do not define our idenity. I think it is our accomplishments and our personality that defines our idenity. When people first met someone or hear of them they normally come up with judgements by the persons name, family, sex, nationality, or location. But once they get to know the person that they have judged by sterio types that society have given them they get to know the real person and form knowlageble judgements on who this person is, showing thier true idenity. If our "idenity" is what we are precived by someone when they first come in contact with us than yes we are our name, family, sex, nationality, or location. But i personally belive that our identity is who we truly are from our personalties and our accomplishments. With this i think we do have an identiy apart from our community. Our community gives our idenity based off of when they first meet us (name....ect.) Since our idenity is something more personal that can not be truly percived until you get to know someone on a more personal level, as in getting to know thier personality and accomplishments we do have an idenity apart from our community.
