1.  A person's identity can have some relation to what their parents or guardian taught them or it can be based on their religion. For me I don't really listen to what my parents want me to do or when they want to mold my identity into minnie them. I just started to get interested in other things. Like when my dad wanted me to do a sport I didn't do it, and I found something that I was interested in. Which was the field of Psychiatry.
2. My identity is both personal choices and community choices because Some things I can choose on my own and what I want to do in your future. But some people don't get that chance based on their religion because some religion, before they are born, the identity of that person is already chosen for them. It's like how I can't really control my races but I can control them if I want to celebrate them. Also some people in a community may feel pressure to become a person that they don't want to become but do it to impress the people around them. That's how one of the childhood friends was. He wanted to fit in so badly to the point where he would do anything just to hangout with the "Cool"  kids.
3. No it's not acceptable to assimilate and Abandon/change your culture based on difficulties because you would most likely get through the difficulties with the right people beside you. Also when you're born into a certain Culture or Religion your basically locked into that for that rest of your life. But also if you abandon your Culture it would be hard for the people to accept you back because you abandoned it, if it was a chance you would want to go back.
4. The way I was personally raised influences the way I am today is that I listen to different types of Music like, Kpop, Hispanic music, and more. Sports I'm not really into because my childhood didn't revolve around sports. I have a very loud family, they act like they can't hear so I kinda picked up on the habit. My family eats many different types of food, well the family on my mom's side does. This changes the way they act usually by how extra my whole family is. My family exaggerates things a lot, and sometimes makes thing sound worse then what they really are and vice versa makes things sound better than what they actually are. I have the one that makes everything sound worse than what it actually is.

1. About 25% of one's identity is the result of how you were raised because the way you are is based on what you were taught and exposed to while being raised. The attitude and behavior of the people who raised you can reflect on you. For example, if you have ever seen those bratty kids, it's because their parents raised them with very little discipline. However, some people disagree with their parents' beliefs and ideals, and they make their own identity later in life. For example, someone could be taught bad things and they could come from the worst of places, but they teach themselves to do the right thing and how to be a good person. The rest of one's identity is based on what they are interested in because their interests represent them. It's their values within themselves. People's interests are based on what influences them most in life.

2. Identity and culture is both a personal choice and a community choice because you can choose your own identity but you get placed into your own culture. For example, I get to choose what I like and who I want to be, but my American culture is a tradition that I am accustomed to. Culture is more about how you are raised and identity is more about who you see yourself as.

3. It is not appropriate to change your culture based on difficulties because your culture is a part of who you are and nothing should be able to take that away from you. Let's take the Holocaust for an example; some Jews wanted to abandon their Jewish culture after the Holocaust because of all the hate they received. The world shouldn't hate you for who you are and where you come from.

4. The way I was personally raised influences my values and choices that I make in the present because that is what I am personally used to and what I grew up to like. I was raised in a quiet family and that deeply reflects who I am now. I am so used to being in a quiet, peaceful environment, so that is what I grew to become comfortable with.

1. Most of a persona identity comes from where they came from and live. Sometimes people use what they grew up around and depending if it was a good or bad thing that is what they are willing to become/ do in life. If it was a bad thing they will either become or do what they saw their parents or household and maybe try and be a better parent/ person then the people they grew up around. Or if it was a good thing then they may try and follow their family footsteps. 2. If you were born into a family with cultures then most likely that is what you're also going to follow and most likely pass on to your kids that will pass it on to their own. Like most people that hang around bad peers, they will end up doing what they do to try and fit in and be cool. 3. as a person who is half nigerian and is still trying to learn about my culture I know what its not appropriate to try and abandoned your culture just because you want to try and be cool with your peers. 4. Like in the first question I said that people will most likely turn out to be what they are shown or around. Whether it is family, culture, peers, anything they will be they same way no matter if its good or bad.

1. I think a person's identity is based on both how you were raised and things that you are interested in. The base of things you may like may be based on how you're raised but as you get older you become more of your own person rather than what your parents tell you to act or do and discover your own interests and things you like. 2. I think identity can be both because I can choose my own identity of who I am and what I like as a person but culture is kind of based on your community what you grow up with and the location you grow up in 3. It is not appropriate to assimilate your culture if you face change or difficulty because that culture is part of who you are and you can't get rid of that. 4. The way I was personally raised does impact my values and the choices I make. The way I was raised was I know my religion and I listen to different types of music based on what my family listened to growing up and finding music I liked. The food I like to eat now comes from my family and I have a very loud family so I'm a pretty loud person I do some sports but that is based on what I like to do as a person. I think it does change who I am as a person

1. A person's identity based on how they are raised can make them have a certain personality different from what their personality actually is. If they are interested in something like art or a certain clothing style,  your parents can make you follow something else. Eventually, as you grow up, you create your own personality and grow away from your parents.

2. Identity can be a mix of both personal choices and community choices. You can make certain choices based on what you like but you may also be influenced by someone else's opinion or identity. Some examples of this are clothing choices, music choices, or even personality choices. My parents influence some of my music style, but I also like other music.

3. It isn't acceptable to blend in with others to "fit in". People should not have to feel like they have to abandon their traditions and culture just to blend in with people. Even if you are being bullied and being told your traditions and culture are "weird" it shouldn't be acceptable to just abandon your culture to fit in. Nobody is good enough to change your lifestyle to fit in.

4. The way I was raised was I can pick to be religious or not but we do not practice religion. That influences me to not be very religious and also let people live their lives. I was raised in a loud family which also teaches me to be loud, even when it's not appropriate. I wasn't able to do any sports so now I have no strength or athletic ability. Being raised with choices and the ability to do certain things helps me realize right from wrong. It also helps influence the choices I make today.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Identity can be based on what you do in your life as well. For me personally, I have always followed what my parents say and my own too but usually my parents. I would listen to things like making what I'm doing makes me happy. My parents always told if I have ever thought of something then do it.

2. I think that they can be both because for your identity it is your choice to create it and as well is your choice to have the behavior of your community. As for me, I have friends that are nice and my family too. So my identity is a kind person. And for my clothing, I get it from my self I like to do some things my way as well. Like I have a hobby of my own. I like to do things on my free time.

3. You should never try to be someone you do not want to be. You should always be you and do what you love. There will be people who will love you for who you are so don't ever change it. Who knows you may even be famous because of your identity.

4. I think how I was raised has definitely changed me. I always worry about my things first like school and my sports. And value loved ones and since my family is loud I get loud.  And I can see it has changed me into who I used to be. I used to be quiet and not in good shape I as well had bad grades and would have a bad attitude. But now I do feel better and can see a change.

1. How much of one’s identity is the result of how you were raised versus what you are interested in? Meaning, do you always follow what your parents/guardians teach you, or do you create your own identity as you grow up. It depends on some people, for example when you're a kid you follow what your parents teach you because sometimes you don't know how to develop your own identity yet, But when you get older you build your own up with what you believe in. How is identity both a personal choice and a community choice? Basically: do you get to pick your own identity and culture or are you kinda placed in it based off your community and the people you surround yourself with (friends /family/ coaches/ teachers/coworkers)? Sometimes you get to pick your own community but now most of the time you get forced to believe in what your family believes, depending on how your family is. For example your parents could be christian but you could be an atheist and your parents forces you to go to church and worship jesus. But you could also have the parents that don't force their religion. Is it appropriate and acceptable to assimilate (blend in with others around you) and abandon/change your own culture when you are faced with change or difficulties? Explain? I think it's okay to change your culture when you're faced with change or difficulties because changing it might be the best thing for you. You shouldn't stick with or believe in a culture you don't want to because that's probably part of the problem. How does the way you were personally raised influence your personal values and the choices you make in the present? (think being raised with religion/music/food/loud family/quiet family/sports.....does it change the way you act now?) Personally, I was raised (being raised) in a christian household and being a christian doesn't really change the choices I make now or how I act. I still do what an average teenager would do. I don't think I've been the same my entire life, I've adapted and mature more.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A person isn't born with knowledge and understanding of what's right and wrong. The way your parents or important people in your life teach you as you grew up is the foundation of your beliefs and personality in the future. I would say the way you were raised is 50% of your identity because it includes religion, culture, environment, life lessons, and the way you perceive success for yourself. For example my whole childhood my dad would always tell us to work hard in school because we're in a place where it's full of opportunities for us to be financially stable. As I grew up I valued this lesson and it has become a part of identity today to complete the expectations my dad has set for me.
2. Your identity can be both personal choices and based on your environment. For example in my life I have been exposed to Christianity my whole life so it's something that's important to my family and myself. But in the future if I no longer feel the same way I can decide for myself if I want christianity to be part of my identity and something I strongly believe in. In other situations  it can be difficult to change your environment without support from friends and family so it can be both in my opinion.
3. It's appropriate/acceptable to feel the need to change your culture when you don't feel respected and valued in your current situation.
4. Aspects and what you experienced while growing up can cause you in the future to carry on those traditions and values or the complete opposite. For me my family would support each other during adversity and this quality is something I use in my own relationships in life.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Personal identity refers to the unique ways that you define yourself. It honestly depends the way you grew up, how you were raised, and how your behavior was in the past. To me its all about how you were raised. When I was born my mom tuaght me how to carry myself. For example, how to speak, talk, walk, my manners, how i dress, etc. But I wil say as I got older in my teenage years I started to shift into my own person. I started liking a different taste in music as my mom, different taste in fashion, food, and everything. So your identity starts off as how you were raised and it starts to form itself as you get older and what religion you believe in as well.

2.I feel like you pick up your identity based off of community. Say there's a trend of fashion or music you like, you'll start to fall into that category. For me I used to like really like tomboy, oversized clothes around the years of 2019-2021, but as soon as I hit the maturing, really finding what I like age of teenage life I started to like more y2k things and comfortable clothes. Same goes for other people, they dress as trends they like or cultures they live in or live by. Just be you in your own trend and stick with it confidently.

3.I say it is but it isn't okay to want to blend in. There's a difference from liking, doing, and wearing things that may be popular in this generation but changing YOURSELF to be someone else that isn't you, don't do it. Be proud of who you are, what you like, what you do, but dont change yourself to blend in or be liked because there's other people out there who like the same things you do. Thats why its called a trend.

4.The way you were raised kind of shapes or sets foundations to your personality. Say you lived in a bad state like bad household, toxic living areas, it would make you stronger as person but it depends whether you want to change to better yourself for the future or if you just can't get out of that situation because of how much of a traumatic hold it has on you. Now if you grew up spoiled , rich, and noble like then you most likely will act like that for the rest of your life. Basically what i'm trying to say is that it's a mind thing. Depending on your life situation it depends on you if you want to better yourself or worsen your current situation. You can still have that child you stuck in your heart but you could always change the way you act in the future.

1) Person's identity can affect the way you were raised. Your parents or guardians could've taught you different things and you grew up a certain way. The people around you like at school or just society can affect the way you act or the things you could be interested in. 2) Identity is the choice you make about yourself and your community can show you what's happening around and how you can act. It can be your own decision on how you act. 3) No. If you want to be your own choice you can but if you don't want to then you should not let others around you influence you. It is your culture and you can stick to it and not let others bring you down. 4) The way you were raised does affect your personal values. For example, people can be humble because they were raised poor and those raised rich aren't. This could affect how you act when you're older. The foods and music you grew up with can also affect what you like more and what you're used to listening to.

1.  A person's identity comes from where they were raised and their surroundings. I don't always listen to my parents because I don't want to grow up to be my parents I want to grow up and be my person with my personality.  As I grow up I want to create my own identity not just follow in my parent's footsteps

2. I do get to choose my identity because only you can choose who you are as a person. You cant choose your own culture at a young age but when you grow older you will have more freedom to do what you want to do

3.  I would say sometimes it is okay to want to fit in with others, But sometimes you only stand out because you don't fit no it's better to be yourself instead of trying to be like others. Sometimes I chose to fit in with others instead of standing out because I don't like it. but other times standing out is important

4. The way you were raised also affects your personality when you are older. Like the type of music I listen to my culture and everything I was taught when I was younger
Thier are lots of things about my childhood that I I did influence

# data[].attributes.body
2.first or all idk what you mean by identity but i do listen to what my parents say and i make my own decisions
3. i make myself who i am i don't go by anybody else's answers or ways i will always do me
4. it's not inappropiate or acceptable,it only matters about how u feel about it
5. the way i was raised makes me who i am today,im not getting into details

! A lot of people change do to the way there was raise you can grow up to be a man or just be shelter all of your life. 2 You change the way you act do to your parents do to the in on family its fine to do what you are doing the other is not. 3 It hard to make someone to change when there parent told them its the wrong thing to do. I as raise up to do sport and i have to play sport for the family but over time i learn to love any sport I play.

1. Your parents can teach you one thing but that dont mean you will obey that or follow it like if you have really strict parents your gonna not want to follow the rules even more if you have parents who are more lenient then you will you'll want to follow the rules more because you'll have more room in between. 2. It's both because whoever you are around like say you're a quiet person at school so no one really is gonna know your personality but when you go home you are around people you've been with for basically your entire life or there entire life. It basically depends on who you are around. 3. it is not appropriate. you shouldn't change your identity, who you are, or your culture for anyone because that's a part of who you are and if you are embarrassed of your culture you should hang around different people. 4. I do think how I was raised changed me. some people have parents who don't teach them manners or how to respect their elders while my parents did. they taught me how to use manners and to n to be disrespectful.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think that it really depends on how you were raised and brought up if you grew up with super strict parents who won't you do anything the person would tend to be sneaky and hide stuff. Rather parents that let you do things and are more chill but care at the same time. So I think a person's identity really depends on the parents and how you were raised and where you we're from.
2. I think people's identity comes from the community and people that are around because if the people around you are mad then you'll pick it up from them. I think it could also be your own choice how your identity is because if your around a bunch of people you know you'll be more comfortable and be social rather than if your around people you don't know you probably won't speak much cause your not  comfortable with them.
3. I feel like you shouldn't have to change/abandon your culture because your around people that aren't of that culture like people shouldn't have to feel like they need to change their culture around other people.
4. I think being raised a certain way definitely influences you personal values because it's a different point of view so like it's different from other people's point of view.

# data[].attributes.body
1.) A Person's identity is based on how your parents raised you and what you were taught growing up. For me, Personally I do follow and listen what my parents taught me i may not like but i still do it because I don't want to ever feel the burden of me disobeying my parents but it also depends on what they're telling me to do because if i feel some type of way about it i will talk to them about it.
2.) My identity is personal choices and somewhat community choices because i chose things on my own and what i do in the future. But my parents have special rules about certain things especially if it has something to do with my safety and health.
3.) No, it is not acceptable for others around you to change your culture when you are faced with changes and difficulties because you can't help how others affect you but you can help your behavior. For me, Personally i have to work how others affect me and my behavior but it has definitely improved over time and I'm being more careful about who I call my friend.
4.) The way you were raised can influence your personal values and the choices you make in the present because for example if you parents didn't raise you right then the children tend to act out because they didn't have a role model to look up to and didn't what was right or wrong. For me, Personally I raised to be respectful and have manners and be able to fend for myself when i get older and i will carry that throughout my whole life and it will do the same with my own kids because that's how I was raised and want my kids to do the same.

1. Your identity is both the way you were raised and the person you become. You listen to the things your parents say the whole time your young but as you grow up you change and branch away from those things
2. Your kind of placed into your identity. Based on the things your family and friends believe, it'll influence what you believe and your culture.
3. It is appropriate to assimilate but not too much and only because you want to. If you move somewhere new and everyone around you acts/believes a certain thing then you change to be more like them. But when you do this its important to not forget where you came from.
4. I have a loud family so I am kind of loud. My family listens to alot of different kinds of music so, i do aswell.

1. A person's identity is based both on where they were raised and what you are interested in. Some things our parents teach us we follow but as we get older we become our own person and make our own choices.
2. Identity is both a personal choice and a community choice. You choose who you are. The community shows what is going on around you and how people act and it's your choice to act the same.
3. I don't think it is appropriate or acceptable to change your own culture because your culture is a part of who you are and you should not change that.
4. The way you were personally raised influences your personal values and choices you make in the present because that's where you grew up and that's what you're used to.

1. How much of one’s identity is the result of how you were raised versus what you are interested in? Meaning, do you always follow what your parents/guardians teach you, or do you create your own identity as you grow up. Give examples!! When your child was younger, your role was to lay the foundations for their behavior. For example, you probably showed your child how to cooperate and take turns with others. Now your child is older, they can start taking responsibility for their own behavior 2. How is identity both a personal choice and a community choice? Basically: do you get to pick your own identity and culture or are you kind of placed in it based on your community and the people you surround yourself with (friends/family/coaches/teachers/coworkers)? Give specific examples from your own life!!! A person's understanding of their own cultural identity develops from birth and is shaped by the values and attitudes things at home and the surroundings, noting that the cultural identity, in its essence, relates to our need to belong. Everyone needs to feel accepted and “at home” with a certain group 3. Is it appropriate and acceptable to assimilate (blend in with others around you) and abandon/change your own culture when you are faced with change or difficulties? that cultural assimilation contributes to the loss of culture and history, increased discrimination and violence, and damage to people's self-esteem and confidence. Also, based on the community could also be what influences different cultures blending. 4. How does the way you were personally raised influence your personal values and the choices you make in the present? (think being raised with religion/music/food/loud family/quiet family/sports.....does it change the way you act now?)our family and upbringing can play a significant role in shaping our beliefs and values. It can change how you act.

1. How much of one’s identity is the result of how you were raised versus what you are interested in? CMeaning, do you always follow what your parents/guardians teach you, or do you create your own identity as you grow up. Give examples!! Identity can show you how someone might act. like if someone comes with expensive things you might think they are bujie vs if someone comes in and their pants are low you may think they are ghetto 2.

Basically: do you get to pick your own identity and culture or are you kinda placed in it based off your community and the people you surround yourself with (friends/family/coaches/teachers/coworkers)?

Is it appropriate and acceptable to assimilate (blend in with others around you) and abandon/change your own culture when you are faced with change or difficulties? Explain? i'm not sure i feel like because everyone is different and you have to find and do things that make you happy and if that's the life you want you should go for it 4. How does the way you were personally raised influence your personal values and the choices you make in the present? If your parents have raised you and stayed on you about your grades they are pushing you to do your best because they know you can do it so therefor in the future you will always reach for the best and the highest goal because growing up it was instilled in you to do your best and be the best
