Furthermore, we posit that this notion of exploited by the privileged members of a given society in order to meet their own needs and strive off of the oppression of the socially marginalized. We intend to veraciously dissect current issues plaguing western society, namely: cultural appropriation, overt racism, homophobia, and the disdain towards feminine personalities. Groups arguments: an individual"s identity is based on the way society perceives them. Due to the lack of communication of the group, i was not assigned a specific issue to discuss regarding identity. Therefore, i chose a topic that relates to the group theme; a. Canadians identity is shaped by deviant roles, not their race. Individual thesis: although canadians culture celebrates and promotes ethnic and cultural diversity, social norms around the globe attribute canadians identity to a white-european racial background.
