Moreover, a person may vary in the degree to which he or she identifies with, values, or expresses a particular cultural identity at any given time, depending on the salience and meaning of that identity in the context within which he or she is operating (Ely, 1995; Larkey, 1996).

The antagonist of the story is Rebecca de Winter, who has a very detailed identity. She was the first…

My cultural identity is not your average painting. Culture is the way your background manifests the way you live and celebrate life.

My cultural identity reflects with my magnificent hobbies, my unique clothing, and my…
