Cross Cultural Management Discussion

For this discussion, you will consider the ways in which you identify yourself, both to others and just to yourself.

First, brainstorm labels that answer the question “who am I?” Think first about the categories of family (daughter, son, mother, father, etc.), job (employee, boss, intern, etc.), or background (religion, nationality, race, etc.). Then dig deeper. What else defines who you are? Is it your hobbies or your personality type? How about your allergies or your food preferences? Think of as many identifiers as you can. List them out for us.

Note: If you do not feel comfortable creating an identity chart to share with your classmates, take on the persona of a fictional character and create a detailed identity chart for your persona.

Now that you have your list, use this blank Identity Chart (https://www.facinghistory.org/sites/default/files/Starburst_Identity_Chart.pdf) to visualize the factors that make up your identity (arrows pointing out from the center, YOU), vs the labels that others place on your identity (arrows pointing into the center). You can use the Identity Chart as a template or draw it freehand on a piece of paper or some other visualization method (Powerpoint, for instance).

Finally, upload your identity chart. What, if anything, did you learn about how you “identify” yourself, or how you see the outside world identifying you? Are there overlapping identifiers? Based off what you’ve learned this week, what identifier do you consider to be the strongest predictor of discrimination?
