Unit 10: Self Image

Activity 1

1. Age/generation

In my generation, we depend heavily on technology. We take many things for granted and do not appreciate it as much as we should. Also, being a teenager we want more freedom but at the same time have our parents take care of us.

2. Gender

Being a female has its pros and cons. Pros are women get to wear heels and sometimes use our looks to get what we want. However, the cons are periods, making sure we do not get pregnant, and guys thinking they can use us.

3. Race

Living with a Mexican background has its privileges and its issues. Growing up, I had to learn about the Mexican culture every single year, learn how to speak the language fluently, cook specialty dishes and how to clean.

4. Religion
I was raised with a strong Catholic background. My grandparents are huge Catholics and raised my dad to follow their ways. Being a Catholic, i attend church nearly every Sunday. It is nice to have a strong religion.

5. Class or caste
My family would be classified as a middle class family. My parents earn a fair amount of money but not a crazy amount to make us rich. The majority of our society is classified under the middle class, but many teenagers take their parents money for granted and abuse it.

6. Personality
I fall under the category of extrovert because I am very social and hate being myself and much rather be with people. I enjoy socializing and meeting new people. Although at times, I like being alone and not being interrupted, usually when I need to think or am in a bad mood.

7. Intelligence
With the encouragement and knowledge that I have of my grandparents' lack of education, I push myself to go further in education. I attend a public school, enrolled in honors class and honors clubs. I plan to go to a 4 year university after my graduation in May, and learn more about the world and to help improve society.

8. Political persuasion
I am mostly categorized as a Republican. However, I disagree with some Republican ideas and agree with the left winged side. But all in all, both parties have their ridiculous or smart ideas.
