We have the ability to choose/change our way of speech, our looks (to a certain point), hobbies our gender identity and in some cases, our name, religion, etc. What these changes are limited to would be: birthplace, age, skin color, etc.]]> 2020-09-01 14:01:44 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelsanders1/bno3gnmbojonysea/wish/711704733 https://padlet.com/rachelsanders1/bno3gnmbojonysea/wish/711705410 2020-09-01 14:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelsanders1/bno3gnmbojonysea/wish/711705410 https://padlet.com/rachelsanders1/bno3gnmbojonysea/wish/711705703 We do have some extent of control in what makes us us. There are some experiences that will affect you, and some that you can ignore. There are some that you can try to ignore, but it will always stay in your mind. You can also become desensitized to something that may have bothered you before. Sometimes you can put on a different persona depending on the situation, but that doesn't necessarily define you, although it can shape other's perspective of you. There is always some part of you, some aspect of your history, that is intrinsically linked to who you are, that cannot ever be changed.]]> 2020-09-01 14:01:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelsanders1/bno3gnmbojonysea/wish/711705703 https://padlet.com/rachelsanders1/bno3gnmbojonysea/wish/711705853 I don't believe that we can choose which experiences affect us. But I do believe that we have self control on "who we are". Certain experiences will affect us but it varies on how mature and old you are. While we can choose "who we are" at a very young age, which my vary as you get older. ]]> 2020-09-01 14:02:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelsanders1/bno3gnmbojonysea/wish/711705853 https://padlet.com/rachelsanders1/bno3gnmbojonysea/wish/711706103 I do not think that we have any control over what experiences we have and how they affect us. But I do believe that we have enough control over our emotions that we can control how we feel and our reactions to certain experiences. ]]> 2020-09-01 14:02:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelsanders1/bno3gnmbojonysea/wish/711706103 https://padlet.com/rachelsanders1/bno3gnmbojonysea/wish/711707363 there are some things we can get past but somethings are so deep that we cannot escape. ]]> 2020-09-01 14:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelsanders1/bno3gnmbojonysea/wish/711707363 https://padlet.com/rachelsanders1/bno3gnmbojonysea/wish/711707520 I believe our identities are brought out and shown through how we grew up and what we were taught.

Also, what makes up our identity is the personal struggles we have all went through. So, to an extent we have some control when dealing with people we hang around and interests. ]]> 2020-09-01 14:02:48 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelsanders1/bno3gnmbojonysea/wish/711709037 https://padlet.com/rachelsanders1/bno3gnmbojonysea/wish/711711389 I think we have control over how we think about our situation but not necessarily the situation itself. Many people have lived similar lives but because of their mindset have been able to grow from it and maybe overcome it. You can decide to be an optimist or a pessimist and that can be part of your identity. ]]> 2020-09-01 14:03:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelsanders1/bno3gnmbojonysea/wish/711711389 https://padlet.com/rachelsanders1/bno3gnmbojonysea/wish/711711404 Yes and no. For one we didn't choose our names so, that couldn't have been controlled by us. However, controlling our thoughts and feelings can show through our actions so, we have control of that.
