Prompt to Answer
There is a difference between individual differences and the social categories to which we belong. Discuss at least three social categories you belong to (e.g., major, ethnicity, sex, etc.). Reflect on the following questions: How has belonging to this social category influenced your own development and behavior? How has belonging to this social category influenced how other individuals not in your social category interact with you? In what ways might social categorization lead to negative (or positive) outcomes (i.e., is it a good thing to categorize people or yourself)?
