Moratorium/Ethnic identity search

Explanation:

The term ethnicity refers to the culture, beliefs and values of one’s heritage. When one person grows in a place where the majority of people are from other heritage/ethnicity, the person goes through different stages of Ethnic identity development.

According to Phinney's, there are 3 stages on the Ethnic identity development:

In this example, Hortencia has been hanging out more and more with her Latin American girlfriends and lately she finds more interested and attracted to Latin Americans and their culture and religion. We can see that she has become aware of her own ethnicity and has been having contact with Latin Americans, she is discovering their traditions and culture. Thus, we can say that she is in the Moratorium stage.

*Note: She hasn't reached a bicultural identity but right now she is focusing more in Latin American culture. That's why we can say that she hasn't reached the third stage yet.*
