b. What did you learn about deviance and your own culture from this interview? (2 points)

b. When experiencing conflict in my family of origin, I feel…like I am accommodating. I find myself taking on different roles when dealing with different family members. I know how certain family members deal with conflict over others. For the most part we all deal with conflict right away but the way each of us confronts it is different. There are personal feelings involved and I try not to hurt others and as a result sometimes I find myself agreeing with family members just to make sure that I do not hurt any feelings or make them feel bad. I know for some family members things have to be this way and as result I do not really get any pent up frustration. I usually just accept things they way they are knowing that some things cannot be changed and then I move on. Once I decide to move on I let the issue go completely giving it no more thought.

a. The reason why she thinks this is because since she was raised in a family where english wasn't spoken perfectly then she wouldn't be able to do as well on certain tests that other, less intelligent people would do better in.

B. My dad is one of my best friends. I know most kids don’t like to hang out with their parents but I have always had a close knit relationship with both of my parents.

To begin with, I was born in a small country called Ecuador. Yes, Ecuador, not equator. I was born and raised in a Latino household where much of the world was hidden from me. That was until the age of 8 when my mom decided that it was the best to take me with her to an unknown, at that time, land. It was about a year later that I found out I was in the United States. Crazy, right? What can I say, I was a very naive child.

Preference, segregation, or enmity coordinated against somebody of an alternate race in light of the conviction that one 's own particular race is superior is prevalent. Prejudice is as old as human culture itself. For whatever length of time that individuals have been around, the contention has remained alive; people have constantly despised or dreaded individuals of an alternate country or skin color. It is said that racism or prejudice is simply some portion of human instinct, but we are not born with racism. We learn to discriminate from our societal norms.

A. When do you think your Digital Imprint began? (You may want to ask your parents about when they began posting information about you online.)

When people see me for the first time, they assume that I am African-American because of my skin color. However, when they hear me speak, they assume I am Latina because I speak Spanish. When they finally meet me, I can tell they are very confused. Yet this very confusion is what I appreciate most about my identity. No one can say for sure who or what I am, and I like being an enigma.

While completing my handout I realized things about myself that I never really thought about. First, I can say that it was very easy to determine the first question. As I know that I am Caucasian. However, I realized that it may not be so easy for my daughter. This is due to the fact her father is multiracial to begin with so I don’t know what racial group she would like to place herself in. Furthermore, one could see that for many Americans that are of a multiracial decent could be confused having to select one particular race or being subjected to writing in their own response.
