Ethnic Biography Paper

[whereismynotecard]

I've got to write an ethnic biography paper about myself and then about another person too. Who wants to be the person I interview?? It will only be questions like what is your

religion
age
gender
race/ethnic affiliation
social class
talents/exceptionalities

I have to interview someone about those things. Who wants it?

Do you want me to wait and see if someone else wants to do it? Or do you want to? I can ask you the questions here or via PM if you want.

 

[Comet]

I can answer here, PM, or email. UP to you, I'm not busy for the next few hours so I'm happy to help you with your school.

Okay.

Here's the questions. I don't think it will take long. I hope it doesn't. I've got class in a half an hour.

What is your

age
race/ethnic affiliation
gender
social class
religion
talents/exceptionalities


and then, which of the things in the list is the most important to you? (and why?)

which of the things is less important? (and why?)




and then I need to describe 2 things that distinguish the two of us culturally, which might be answered by the previous questions.

and then I need to know if these differenences do or could cause conflict between us and how we could work to resolve these conflicts.

That's it.

What is your

age: 31
race/ethnic affiliation: mostly white with some Native American
gender: male
social class: middle
religion: Monism
talents/exceptionalities: writing


and then, which of the things in the list is the most important to you? (and why?) I guess social class for it dictates how I live and whom I live with, etc...

which of the things is less important? (and why?) I guess gender... For I can see a bigger difference with age gaps and some race issues (depending on the person). Gender has never stopped one from being a friend to me, nor I to them. Yet, I could not be friends (per se) with a 12 year old; nor a friend to somebody who has issues with my race, etc...

You can answer the questions too, if you'd like, and I can use either of you in my paper.

 

[whereismynotecard]

Oh... and I don't remember either of your names... Is it okay if I use just your first name in my paper?

 

[Comet]

Brian, yes you may use it and whatever else you need.

As for cultural differences between us: age, gender, and religion are different I'm sure. Possibly social class and race. Shouldn't be too hard to list those out and something like "talking about differences for better understanding leads to resolved issues that might occur...." bla bla bla. Ah, the joys of school! How I don't miss it at all!

Brian is my dad's name.

I try to enjoy school, because I feel being able to still be young and stupid is better than being completely responsible for all of the adult things... It's scary turning into a grown up.

Anyway, thank you very much for taking the time to answer my questions.

talents/exceptionalities. because it reflects who I am, as it springs out of my own genuine interest and passion.

which of the things is less important? (and why?)

more or less all apart from exceptionalities.

and then I need to describe 2 things that distinguish the two of us culturally, which might be answered by the previous questions.

and then I need to know if these differenences do or could cause conflict between us and how we could work to resolve these conflicts.

That's it.

I suppose this is for you?

Oh and my name is Dan.

Thank you both for responding. I would have thanked you earlier, but I had to go to my english class.
