Define social identity as it relates to your life. What does it mean to have an external/social understanding of yourself? 


What does it mean to become educated? Has education or going to school ever become a dominant influence in your life? If so how? If not, why do you suppose it has never become a part of your identity? Do you believe that education/knowledge can dictate how a person perceives themselves/ others?
