Discussion Board Post/125 words (Based on Power points) :
Does identity matter? Is every single person in this world treated the same? Why do identity-based stratification groups (race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, etc.) even exist? I want you to answer these questions by addressing three different contexts: (1) Does identity matter for your generation/age group? (2) Does identity matter differently for your parents/guardians’ generation/age group? (3) Does identity matter in our country as a whole? I want you to deeply consider these questions. Feel free to use examples, but please refer to the class etiquette guidelines on the syllabus. Do not discriminate/use discriminatory language/arguments.

Summaries must be submitted through Blackboard Journals by 11:59pm on the Thursdays of the readings’ particular week.
