Out-Group Interaction

541 Words3 Pages

We tend to manage our identity when interacting with various groups by changing up our identity depending on the group we are going to be around. What I mean by “changing up” is by doing what we know our identity is known for within the group we are around. You would only use certain language around this group of people for example, the slang they use. If you were to go and use the slang that you would only use around this certain group then when you go to another group they would not be able to understand your language. For example, the type of language that I would use around my teachers or someone that is higher authority over me is a different kind of language I would use around my friends. The language that would use would be proper, formal and more mannered language like saying “Good Morning Professor” or “May I have a word with you to discuss something that I am not understanding in the reading?” this would be considered to be interacting with the out-group. As for the in-group norms, which would be my social group of friends, I would talk informal by probably using curse …show more content…

Another prop would be having my phone in my hand most likely at all times just because. To the in-group this is not a sign of disrespect or ignorance, it is mainly a sign of basically whatever the conversation is about right now I may need to use my phone to either show you something about the conversation or answer a message real quick during the conversation. When interacting with an out-group I would not use all of the same props. If I am talking to someone from an out-group with my hands moving all around or even with my phone in my hand it would be considered disrespectful, that I am not focusing on them and the conversation. What I would do for out-group is use my eyes as a prop to give them that more focus eye to eye

A wise woman once said, “Your identity is your most valuable possession. Protect it.” Actually, that’s a line from the movie, The Incredibles, but the quote still holds true in the real world without the superpowers depicted in the film. Identity is the culmination of values, beliefs, and passions. As we grow up, we begin to form our identity, and different upbringing can result in alternate identities.

Our identities are more determined by society around us. In Sara Ahmed's podcast, she talks about how it was for her being a Muslim woman after 9/11 happened and how even though she was born in the US and grew up in an American area she was still singled out based on her appearance and not how she truly was. Being an Indian-American caused her to be seen two ways, either as an American or, when something terrible happened, Indian. Just because our personal identities are one thing, you are the only person who sees you as that; society groups you up and you have to “act that way”, or “look that way”. That's “who you are”.

Reicher (1984) surmise that; identification is derived from the accentuated perceived similarities by group members in which they adopt a sense of homogeneity. Therefore, providing the basis for stereotypical norm to which group members conform. For example, social identification is illustrated by chanting songs unique to the club, similarly exhibited by chanting racial slurs; “We’re racist, we’re racist and that’s the way we like it” (Gibson, 2015). Echoing the old aphorism; “safety in numbers” the philosophy behind the theory of deindividuation provide an interesting insight into the morphology of group discriminations.

People always suggest others to be themselves. To not care about what others have to say about you. People try to ignore society 's opinion about them, not realizing the importance it plays in identity. For a person to feel identified, they must have similarities or differences, and some type of involvement. Identity involves a combination of how you see yourself and how others see you.

Identity is a distinctive identifier of who we are as individuals. People must learn how to construct their own identities through the actions and choices they make. Sometimes when people are influenced by society or the world around them, their own sense of identity can become unfavorably distorted. As such, it is important for people to stay loyal to themselves in order to cultivate and maintain that strong sense of identity.

Identity is something people tend to think of as consistent, however that is far from the case. The Oxford English dictionary states that the definition of identity is “ The characteristics determining who or what a person or thing is.” The allegorical novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding tackles the issue of identity while following young boys from the ages twelve and down as they struggle with remembering their identities when trapped on a deserted island. Identity is affected by the influence of society and how individuals influence society based on their identities. By looking at Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the Stanford Prison Experiment, and Sigmund Freud 's philosophical ideas, it becomes clear that identity is affected by society through peer pressure and social normalities.

Using slang is informal language and restricted at the work place. But not all slang is derogatory. In some cases, it’s a way to pack a lot of information into a single phrase, or to warn other colleagues about a potential difficult patient (Michaels). Like for an example a doctor says “High Five” to warn their nurses about a patient who has HIV before operating on that patient. In order to show professionalism, slang should always be avoided.

Each individual has their own different social identity. One’s social identity is constructed based on the different influences around them. The development of social identity is influenced by various factors such as the historical, cultural and religious beliefs of the society, community or family where one is brought up. It is influenced by the behaviours and attitudes of authority figures such as parents, teachers and community leaders around them, it is also influenced by external factors such as the media, one’s peers and the overall exposure one has (Carrim, 2006, p56).

In this way, my cultural identity is also unique. Many parts of my identity I have inherited from my ancestors such as my cultural background or social class. Other parts of my identity I received through learning and making decisions such as my hobbies and etiquette. It is with these little matters in life that make me able to identify myself as a unique being to myself and to the people I meet.

Identity of oneself is different than the identity that other may see. I wish to see in the hope near future that labels are not used for means of discrimination but as a way of to accept the different types of people. What need to happen to accomplish this is acception. We need to acknowledge the facts. No need for pointing fingers at each other when no action is being done.

Cultural identity plays a very vital role in cross cultural communication, people from a particular culture communicate with partners and employees from many different cultures and in this situation every individual strives to keep their cultural and individual identity. According to Gardiner and Kosmitzki, identity is defined as “a person 's self-definition as a separate and distinct individual, including behaviours, beliefs, and attitudes” (Gardiner & Kosmitzki, 2008, p. 154). Also, Ting-Toomey defines identity as a "reflective self-conception or self-image that we each derive from our family, gender, cultural, ethnic, and individual socialization process"( Ting-Toomey, 2005). Both definitions bring out the generalisation of cultural identity
