Q. What were your impressions of the first class? Are we our Name, our Family, our Sex, our Nationality or our Location? If not, then what is responsible for our identity? Do we have an identity apart from our community?
i feel that we are not our names. A name does not make us, we make the name what it is. people spend thier lives trying to make the name that they have something to be remembered, becuase history remembers people not on their nationality, race, sex, or family, but by the means of the name that thay have or make for themselves. the names that we have can link us to communities and cultures, but it doesn't bind a person to live in that culture and that person can choose to accept the heritage that his name gives, or break away from it
