I valued my Chinese identity the most, because I believe it is crucial for individuals to make the relation and connection with their cultural background. Moreover, it provides my the ability to demonstrate a diverse and vivid personal experience and development. For instance, as I grow up, I embrace my Chinese identity by continuing to learn Chinese cooking skills, calligraphy, novels and history in the past years. These things contribute to my understanding of how I am building my special perspective towards this world.
Being privileged means one is taking advantage of something that most others don’t have, it can be social, financial, sexual or in different ways. The obvious example will be kids from a wealthy family,…

The aspect of my identity that I value the most is my culture. My culture is something I never want to fade away in my life and it's something that I want to share with my future kids. I'm honestly really scared for the future generation when it comes to culture because I know I would be able to share my culture with my kids my culture but what if they can't pass it down to their kids? I'm afraid that in the near generations coming, that culture is going to die. To be privileged is to have things others can't. To have things whenever you want or to be born with a silver spoon is something that…

Some aspects about my identity that I value the most is that I am an analyzer. I like to see a difficult situation in different point of views to eventually come to a conclusion. I am very open-minded and I enjoy hearing people out about their thoughts.T
To me, being privileged means being a complainer. If you’re a person that gets to sit back one day and decide to not do anything at all because you know you’ll be able to sustain yourself either way, then you’re privileged. The people that can’t take a small break because if they do, there won’t be food in the table are not privileged, but they also don‘t have time t…

1. Some aspects of my identity that I value the most would be my age, race, and ethnicity. I am proud of who I am. At the age of 17, I am able to do more things, there are more oppunities, even if I am not a legal adult yet. I still need my parents to sign official documents for me, which I do value my chance and this final opportunity as a child.
2. People who are regarded more privileged in a given setting often face fewer barriers and receive better treatment than others who do not have such advantage. It is crucial to stress that privilege does not indicate that people have not suffered problems or…
