Slide1

Introduction to Culture and Identity Slide2

Culture is the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a group

(e.g., racial, religious or a social group) (Merriam-Webster).

Identity is who you are and your sense of self. You have many layers to your identity.

Slide5

Identity, Culture and Belonging

Because of the different layers of our identities, we might be included or excluded from some groups

, activities, or places. Slide6

Rachel and Daniel

Rachel and Daniel want to join a team of male football players but they have both been rejected.

Rachel is a woman.Daniel is a Korean man. Slide7

What are some things that we assume about

woman

in sports? Besides statements such as, “You throw like a girl,” what are some negative assumptions (stereotypes) we have of women? What does it mean to “throw like a girl”?What are some things that we assume about Asian men in sports? How are Asian men stereotyped in the media? Gender Slide8

Rachel’s Problem

Rachel might be rejected by the male football players because she is a female and because we assume things about women and stereotype them

in our culture. Our cultural assumptions of women include: Females are bad athletes.Women and girls are weakWomen and girls should not play with men in “real” teams.Good teams are those that are made up of men. “You throw like a girl”; “You hit like a girl”; “You act like a girl.” Slide9

Daniel’s Problem

In our culture, Asian men, like women, are often stereotyped negatively. Here are some of the stereotypes that Daniel has to deal with in order to join the group:

The assumption that Asian men are bad athletes,The assumption that Asian men are “soft.”The assumption that Asian men are “nerdy.”Slide10

Stereotypes and Discrimination

Although Daniel and Rachel have different identities (one is male and the other is female), they both are experiencing discrimination and stereotyping. Daniel is being discriminated against because of race and culture, and Rachel is being discriminated against because of her gender and gender expression (Rachel doesn’t act like

a ”typical woman” because she wants to play football rather than a “girls’ sport”). Slide11
