As a result of this activity, participants will be able to: 1. "Help participants understand how identity is shaped and reinforced by the cultural discourse that has been internalized. 2. Help participants understand and accept how culture shapes us as individuals and distinguishes us when we find ourselves in new cultural circumstances. 3. Encourage participants to listen for the cultural discourse that has shaped and continues to shape the people in the new culture and environment where they find themselves" (Cassiday & Stringer, 2015, p. 101).
