Identity:  What is it?  Self-expression, value, culture, self-worth.  How do you describe identity?  It can mean a variety of things, depending on the person.  Is it what you think of yourself as being or does it deal with what others feel and think about you?  How do you portray yourselves to others or how do they feel that you display yourself?  If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?
 -Chuck Palahniuk


Behavior:  How we act, our values, the way we respond to people and their ideas.  Does it deal with our accepting of others, their culture, their values.  Respect is a major theme displayed in people's behavior.  How does our behavior reflect who we are a a person?  What do others think about us because of our actions, including both physical and emotional interactions.

Values:  What determines a value? Just what exactly does the term reflect? Diversity, respect, culture, dignity?  What other words can coincide with such a powerful term?  Yes we all claim to have values, but what exactly are they?  They are different for every person ... dependent upon the lifestyle one lives, the way they were raised, where they live, the people they surround themselves with.  All values can be altered by one simple change in a person's life.
