Reflection On Cultural Identity

862 Words4 Pages

I define my cultural identity as being very comprehensive. I like to think that I belong to many different groups that share similar if not identical values and customs as I do. Although I am not a fan of being labeled with regard to any social group, I can say that I am most comfortable with identifying as a non-gender conforming millennial gay woman of Latin, Native American and European descent. Furthermore, I am also a non-denominational and somewhat spiritual person. Out of all groups that I’ve mentioned, I am most in touch with my LGBT cultural identity. I am both proud and humbled to be part of each cohort above and take pride in how I perform my cultural identity inclusively and individually.
I will begin with being a millennial. I have heard a lot of backlash about the millennial generation and how we are all extremely vain and self-absorbed. However, I, along with my millennial counterparts are extremely proud to be part of a generation that possess values that are meaningful for us as individuals and those around us. For instance, I personally I am more interested in doing meaningful work than working for marginally more but performing meaningless work. This is the exact reason I left a career opportunity two in a half years ago to pursue a career that would leave an imprint when I reach my goals. Furthermore, I perform my millennial cultural identity in a fashion of respect for others, acceptance of diversity, and a willingness to standup for others.

  • Cultural Identity Reflection Paper

    Throughout my experiences in this course so far, I have had many opportunities to reflect on my own past and have begun to better understand my own cultural identity. It has been much more difficult to wrap my head around than I would have predicted it to be because so many things play into the construction of an identity that it can be hard to look at all of those separate pieces together. My cultural identity, like all others, is more complicated than it first appears. I identify as a white person, a woman, an American, a gay person, and a feminist, just to name a few. While all of these labels carry with them stereotypes and expectations, they also interplay with the cultural influences I was subject to throughout my childhood.
