Nakkula Chapter 2

My understanding about context mapping is that it is how you act in different settings of your life. It made me think of the roles you have that I learned about in introduction to social work. When you have a role of being a student you act differently than you would as the role of being a friend. When you take on a specific role you do not use that role in a different environment. Context mapping is similar. The way you act at school, work, or your home will not be the same.
 
My context map:

RIC- Student, Youth Development

Social- Twitter, Instagram, Facebook

Work-Customer, Manger, Associate

Family- Daughter, Sister, Granddaughter, Niece, Cousin, Friend

 

  Foreclosed Identity: This identity is when one doesn’t really explore other ones. It can be imposed or what you are used to being around so you take on the same without exploring other options.

Diffuse Identity: This is when one is not sure of their own identity so they will often change their opinions to fit in better and avoid confrontation.

Moratorium Identity: This is when one does explore beliefs and relationships but doesn’t commitment to either.

Achieved Identity: This identity is when the identity crisis is resolved. This is when a person has found their own identity.

  1. I think you did a great job explaining this context mapping and also the definition you gave for the four terms.

  3. I liked your definition for context mapping because it differs from mine. As where I focused on identifying who you are you focused on how people are different in different situations. I think this is something to really think about because even when you recognize who you are you are still a different person in the professional world compared to with your friends.
