here it is!!

Essay:

In the previous article, we discussed cultural identity. Cultural identity is a term that you frequently encounter - in the news, on social media platforms, on television, in magazines. In college and in the academe in general, the discussion will become more serious and incisive. It will be the subject of numerous papers, essays, discussion posts, research papers, dissertation papers, speeches, and even debates, and your knowledge about cultural identity will only become more expansive. By now it is safe to say that you surely have acquired a firm grasp of your very own cultural identity. Awareness of your own cultural identity prevents you from projecting your own values onto others; projecting denotes the natural human tendency to assume that people of other cultures are doing things for the same reasons that you would. Awareness of your cultural identity also ensures your interaction and coexistence with people of other cultures will reach a more meaningful and more compassionate depth, and it can only get better once you have come to possess a healthy comprehension of their own concept of cultural identity.  

Cultural sensitivity is the result of the acquisition of knowledge about your own cultural identity and that of others. The most befitting word to describe possession of such knowledge is "sentience," as you are now able to perceive and feel cultural differences. Your sentience, when guided primarily by humanity and warmth, empowers you to effectively break down cultural differences and make a difference.  

It is common knowledge that most of history's major wars were ignited by refusal to understand other cultural identities. Nationalism, chauvinism, racism, prejudice, and fanaticism are by-products of the lack of knowledge of other peoples' cultural identities, the absence of "sentience." Thus, in this age of rapid globalization, the need for awareness of one's cultural identity is at its most pronounced to ensure the harmonious coexistence of the world's cultures.  

Now, we will help you construct your first cultural identity essay. A cultural identity essay is similar to other essay forms since its parts are the same – title, introduction, thesis statement, body, and conclusion. It’s safe to say that a cultural identity essay is like a combination of a personal narrative and a reflective essay. The only difference is that you’ll need to describe your culture and how it shapes your life – related experiences, aspirations, factors that influenced and still influence you. Essentially, a cultural identity essay requires that you discuss how nationality, race, language, social class, ethnicity, religion, gender, heritage, tradition, and norms affect your life and viewpoint.
