661 Words | 3 Pages

Having a strong sense of identity and belonging is essential for people to develop a positive sense of themselves, build self-confidence, and achieve success in life. Authors often display character growth to show characters questioning themselves and discovering their true identities.

Figurative language is used to create an identity and a sense of belonging by using metaphors and hyperboles. The songs “ Lean on me” by Bill Withers, “A dream” by Common, and the poem ``Slam, Dunk & Hook” by Yusef Komunyakaa show how character identities are portrayed through figurative language.

Critical Race Theory In Higher Education

1041 Words | 5 Pages

Delgado and Stefancic (2011) stated that Critical Race Theory explores how “race, racism, and power intersect to create different circumstances for people of color within society [...] and in postsecondary institutions” (as cited in Quaye, 2013, p. 172). Within the field of higher education, it is important for student affairs professionals to recognize how race permeates all aspects of an individual’s life to fully understand their students’ experiences. Unlike other student development theories, such as Baxter-Magolda’s (2008) self-authorship and Abes, Jones, and McEwen’s (2007) Model of Multiple Identities, CRT places race at the “center of the analysis and assumes that race is omnipresent” in an individual’s life (Quaye, 2013, p. 167).
