The Process Of Racial Identity Development

Your reflection should approximate 500 words (or two double-spaced pages). Please choose one of the options below as your reflection topic.
Option 1:
"We have to make a way where there is no way" - (IGUR) Just briefly mention where the book said this quote came from. There are a number of vignettes (i.e., pp 118-119; pp 120-121; p. 131; pp 136-137.; 139-142 etc.) scattered throughout chapter 6. Choose one vignette and do a compare/contrast with your own experience. What was similar? What was different? Do you think your experience as an underrepresented minority is different from others? If you are not an underrepresented minority, how do you think your experience differs? Feel free to use examples from the book.
Option 2:
Go to student development theory wordpress com and choose either the racial identity topic, the ethnic identity topic, or the gender and sexual development topic. Within each of those topics, you will see numerous frameworks. Choose ONE. (e.g., Atkinson, Morten, and Sue’s Racial and Cultural Identity Development: Five Stage Model (1979,1989, 1993, 1998)). For each bullet point, find a concrete example in your life that best fits with the generic description in the framework. Do you think that this model adequately fit your individual experience within the topic that you chose? That is, if you chose a topic in racial identity development, did it completely capture your experience of racial identity development? Why or why not? What is one thing you would add or subtract from your framework? Why?
