Part B – 1. Identity I am a young white middle class heterosexual female who was born in Canada and raised in an English and French speaking nuclear family household. This statement matches how socially I see myself, and how others would see me by first impression, but it does not define who I am. It captures everything that I am as a person, but it fails to capture my beliefs, such as my religion and view on politics. Representing myself in this way, is somewhat of an underrepresentation of who I am because there is so much more to me as a person. This representation shows where and how I was born into society but does not go into further detail of who I am. For example, I do not believe in the idea of God as true, but you could not pick …show more content…
I have seen many articles and done research on these topics and this is what I have concluded: everyone is equal. I may not personally be a part of the LGBTQ+ community or be a part of any cultural community or race, but I do believe that all feelings of an individual are valid. They are worthy of being and feeling any way they know in their hearts is right, regardless of what gender they are or the colour of their skin.

But there are also some terrible people who were Caucasian, and yet we have not banned them from living wherever they want or looked down on their whole race because of one terrible mistake one person …show more content…
An example would be what I just explained up above; being a woman. I was labelled as weak because of my gender but would end up surprising others when they could see that I can do the same things as any other male. Another example of a time when I felt that I was being labelled was when I would buy a drink at Starbucks and be called a “white girl” based on the place I had bought my drink. But if I had bought that coffee at Tim Hortons, nobody would have said anything. This is an odd example to use for this topic but when you get judged constantly because the brand of your coffee can magically match your skin colour, it gets a little annoying. It, for some reason, has turned into a negative stigma to be white and buy Starbucks. A final example would be when I did something bad and was labelled as a “teenager” as an excuse for my behaviour. It has been rooted forever that teenagers are always up to bad things, and that led to my justification of my
