· What kinds of benefits do you get from this identity? If you suddenly could no longer claim this identity, how would you feel?
· What relationships and resources would you lose? Would you lose other social benefits?
· Think of a behavior or two that is repugnant to people within that group. What social conditions could compel you to act that way? Do you know people who have engaged in that behavior?
