The 4th & 5th bubble will consist of categories you choose that are most relevant to your life and cultural understanding. Things like rules/laws, sport, family, nature/outdoors or any other thing that is a major component of your cultural engagement. (If you would like to pick another bubble from the “pick 1” category you may, but at least 1 of your bubbles must be your own “original” category).
In your (60-100 word) text for each respective bubble please explain how that bubble has impacted your life, (how it operates as a “privilege” or lack thereof for you) and explain how it has impacted your professional and academic aspirations.
