This reading by Howard and Jane Giles discusses intergroup communication perspective. The division between ingroups and outgroups was a main point of this reading. Ingroups is a social category that you identify with, while an outgroup is a social category that you do not identify with. While this seems like a simple concept, life is not always so black and white. In certain environments, you could be a part of both an group and an out group. The example the reading provided was about how Korean Americans feel like outsiders when they go to the place that they identify with most in the United States.<\/p>\n
I realized that since coming to college, there are certain things I identify with when I\u2019m at home that I don\u2019t really identify with here. For example, the music I listen to with my family and friends at home is different than the music I listen to with my friends at Richmond.<\/p>\n
This article also mentioned intersectionality, which we talked about in class earlier in the semester. In short, intersectionality is the connection of certain identities \u2013 like race, gender, or ability \u2013 and how they overlap to create an individual identity.<\/p>\n
