As a result of this activity, participants will be able to: 1. Articulate the process through which humans construct a belief and values system by interacting with the world around them to get their needs met. 2. Consider how variables—like geography, race/ethnicity, gender, economic/social class, or physical ability—interact with environmental or contextual factors, such as family, media, or education, to form one’s self.
