Reflection Questions

  1. Do you change how you speak or how you act depending on who you're around? (e.g., Do you talk to your coworkers the same way you talk to your friends?)

  2. How do you change the way you talk or the way you act?

  3. Why do you talk a certain way to certain people and a different way with other people?

  4. What benefits does this have?

  5. Are there potential consequences if you don't change how you speak/act (code switch)?
