7/9/15 - Identity

After our intro to photography, we discussed the idea of identity as that was the topic we were studying. My idea of Identity shows that you belong to a group. I created a mind map showing my ideas of Identity.

As a group, we broke down what defined our identity; Place or environment; our family and friends; our likes and dislikes; and our possessions. 

As a class we discussed our ideas. Other groups brought up physical appearance being a part of our identity as it can represent what genre of music we listen to etc, and attributes that can't change your identity. 

We discussed that identity was generally fluid, but that we had some control over our identity - or society does.
