Be sure and read about the Hays Model (2008) before posting this discussion, and be sure to include all aspects of this discussion, including:
One area where you are the social majority.
A cultural group to which you belong where you have less privilege.
Identity switching as it applies to your identities.
Response Guidelines
Review the posts of at least two peers and start a discussion about how this activity had an impact on your mutual willingness to share sensitive information with one another, or you may compare and contrast elements of identity between you, or both.
Note: Remember, all of your discussion posts are expected to be written at a graduate level, be free from typos and spelling errors, and follow standard English grammar. You will need to support your points with in-text citations and references in APA style. This may include your readings for this course, but also outside scholarly sources that you obtain relevant to this discussion from our library.
Your initial response to each discussion question must be posted by the deadline set in Faculty Expectations. By responding early in the week, you are recognizing that some people work weekends and have midweek off to do their coursework. You are providing those learners with something to respond to, which allows them to fulfill their obligation to the course.
Appreciating Social Identity Complexity
Consider two of your social identities (such as student, spouse, parent, child, grandparent, employee). Using social identity complexity theory and Table 2.1 in the Crisp text, identify and explain how those identities interact and into which complexity category they fall. Use at least two scholarly sources to support your response.
Response Guidelines
Locate at least one other scholarly resource and elaborate on the two social identities and the social identity complex theory selected by at least two learners. How does the scholarly resource you selected help explain how those identities interact and into which complexity category they fall?
Please make sure to respond to a learner who does not already have other cohort members’ contribution to ensure that every person gets additional sources for their social identities. Be sure to include the full APA citation for the source you select. If possible, send the learner a PDF of the scholarly source.

You must respond to at least two other learners’ initial posts per discussion by midnight on Sunday, thus each discussion requires 3 posts (one initial post, and replies to two learners).
