QuestionAnswer
What is Identity? Identity is the unique way that a person defines themselves; this can be shaped/based on things like race, gender, culture, beliefs, family, roles, and experiences.
How do our identities shape who we are? Our identities shape who we are by acting as the inner compass that guides our thoughts, decisions, and connections with others
Empowerment Gaining the knowledge, confidence, and ability to take action, speak up, and create change in your life or community.
Given Identity Identities that are assigned or attributed to you by external factors: society, culture, family, etc. (ex: race, ethnicity)
Chosen Identity Identities that you choose or claim for yourself (ex: values, interests, hobbies)
Culture The shared beliefs, values, customs, language, and traditions of a group of people. Culture shapes how people live, communicate, and understand the world
Core Values The most important beliefs and principles that guide how a person or community lives and makes decisions
How do stereotypes impact how we see others and ourselves? Stereotypes act as mental shortcuts that shape how we judge others and restrict our own potential.
How can we challenge stereotypes and build real connections through stories and relationships? We can challenge stereotypes and build real connections by moving past surface-level assumptions and engaging in intentional, human-centered storytelling and relationship-building.
Stereotype A widely held but oversimplified idea about a group of people. Stereotypes ignore individual differences and lead to harmful assumptions
Prejudice A negative opinion or feeling about a person or group based on their identity/stereotypes, often without real knowledge or experience
Bias A preference or belief that unfairly favors one group or point of view over another. Bias can be learned and often shows up in how we think, speak, or act—sometimes without even realizing it.
Discrimination Unfair treatment of people based on their identity, such as race, gender, or religion. Prejudice becomes discrimination when it turns into actions or policies.
Contact Hypothesis The idea that when people from different groups interact and work together, it can reduce prejudice and build understanding
