• Explain how these issues have affected you and how your experiences affect how you interact with other groups.
• Select the most appropriate model of identity development for your primary cultural identity from your course textbook, Robinson-Wood (2013), and outline it clearly in your paper.

• Using the insight from Robinson-Wood (2013) or additional sources you identify regarding your selected model of identity development, describe what needs to happen to move you to the next stage of development. What will you do to bring about that next stage of development?
