Looking Back At My Cultural Identity

My family has a history of sports. I play a variety...Basketball, volleyball , and the most important to me is fastpitch. My Dad played basketball and baseball. My Mom played volleyball and fastpitch. I have a very athletic family. Papa Dan (my Dad’s, Dad) coached and played baseball. He coached all six of his kids in baseball, basketball, football or any sports they played. My mom is just athletic. I don’t really know where she got it from but she was on a traveling fastpitch team and played for her school. Now my sister and I are in love with the game and both of my parents are always on our side helping us be the best we can be.

What is my Cultural Identity? When I try to look into that subject I come up blank. I have no clue. The things that fly in and out of my mind are ethnicity, religion, family traditions that have been practiced for as long as we can trace... Given this was before I actually learned anything about it. And after school that day I wanted to see what others thought it was. So I went to the most reliable place ever, the Internet and proceed to look around. Don't do that, you’ll only get more confused; Wait for your teacher to explain it. There’s a good chance you’ll do better in the long run. And is wasn’t until after all the lessons and assignments I realized I had learned more about know who I am than I had in my entire life. Cultural identity

Skating is a main part of my cultural identity, but so is riding dirt bikes and quads. Aside from the fun activity’s, I have more important things to do, such as getting good grades so I can get into college, and being respectful to others and myself.

Cultural identity doesn’t define who you are, but it does show where you came from. My cultural identity means more than the family I was born into. For example, I may have grown up in a few different states without my father, but that just shows where I came from, not who I am. My personal cultural identity is unique because I have all my memories in photo albums, enjoy having a good steak, and connect with music that gives a glimpse of what I’ve dealt with.

Hook------. There are over seven billion people in the world, and each of them have their own cultural identity. In order for one to understand my cultural identity, one must first understand what happens when Texan blood meets a Louisiana address. Through religion, band, and my future goals, I have my own unique culture.

Finding my culture identity has been a confusing process on if I have one and if I do what is it? Culture to me is the way you live your life and the reason you are living that way.The way my family and I have been doing certain things and how it has impacted us as people.

Culture changes so much throughout our lifetime, from music to fashion trends. The more i look into my culture the more i notice it isn’t very unique.

Who am I? Where do I belong? I was raised and born in Palm Springs, California. I'm German, Irish, Jewish, the rest I'm not sure. In California it was normal being white. I didn't feel like an outsider. I felt normal. But when I moved to Hawaii I didn't feel normal. I didn't know people would judge you for being white or as they say it, a "Haulie" . But I think I let that word get the best of me because it's only a word that describes a white person. That's what I am. But the only thing that gets to me is, why do they say it? Why do they have to remind me that I'm white? I been with myself for along time, I think I know I'm white.

Cultural identity is defined as a sense of feeling or belonging to one group, or even multiple groups. Different people define themselves differently from the person sitting next to them. I, on the other hand, think that my cultural identity is abstract. I think that this is because I enjoy a variety of different activities including swimming competitively, singing in a choir, sometimes going to school, and reading whenever I get the chance. Sometimes it is hard to find time to read because of my busy schedule, but I make it happen. A lot of people have one specific way to identify themselves and have other smaller ways to define themselves within their larger definition.

Do you ever get that preconceived look from others? When they judged you by your facial expression or your race. Do people constantly question what you think you are because you share aspects of different cultures but they do not notice their own? When people look at me they see a stereotypical black girl they assume you know all of the latest dances and slang. When you talk people automatically assume that you do not know the basics of grammar but they soon find out that you do just in time for them to tell you that you talk like a white person. My cultural identity is not one of a strictly African American nature. My individual culture is an assortment of features that stem from my friends and family. The organized lifestyle, religion, values and traditions, I’ve gotten from my mother along with the music, clothes and pastime activities I share with my friends all come together as the

I am from St. Croix, Virgin Islands, which means I am a Cruzan. However, my father is from Viequez, Puerto Rico. When I was a child the cultural identity for my household was Cruzan and Puerto Rican. My father is a fisherman and our meal contained of a lot of sea food. My favorite sea foods are lobster, conch, octopus, and barracuda.

One of my lifelong challenges has been navigating my cultural identity. Growing up in Southern California in an Indian-American household, I was more “Westernized” than my other similarly situated Indian friends. At the same time, my upbringing as a child of immigrant parents made me different than other Americans.

Who am I? I’m I considered African or African American? So what is my social identity? Social identity is a person’s sense of who they are based on their group membership(s). Social groups such as family, organizations, sports team, etc plays an important role a person’s pride and self esteem. Interacting in such groups gives us a sense of belongingness, which leads to our social identity in the social.

One aspect of my cultural identity that at first people may not know about me is that my family and I have

When asked about their culture these days, it seems as if Americans only respond in two ways; either they detail their rich background and diverse way of life, or they simply reply, ‘I don’t know, I’m just white.’ Unfortunately, due to a massive culture disconnection, numerous Caucasians in the U.S. respond the second way.
