[Eriny]

What do you mean? Also, do you want examples, or more of a general list like methodsboy gave?

[kurrymuncher]

umm, like examples, i really dont know, it just says to write an essay on that question.

Perhaps:

-Heritage, culture, religion, country of origin, etc
-Type/ level of Education
-Type of work the individual is/ was involved in
-Relationship with family and friends, in the past and present (e.g. positive/negative relationships), and people an individual has interacted with
-Achievements in life
-Negative/ positive events which occurred in the individual's life (e.g. if they were unwell for an extended period of time, or if they went through a divorce, etc.)
-Political events which have occurred in the person's life time (for example, feminism)
-Social class (low, middle or upper class)
-Perhaps even suburb of origin/ suburbs someone has resided in.

That's all I can think of right now.

financial status? (rich/poor)

Adam? Adam in year 10 or whatever? oh god.

[kurrymuncher]

no, nothing happened to adam.

Are you a migrant? If so, talk about their life before and after coming to australia. Discuss how fitting into this culture changed their identity.

[costargh]

Here's something to think about.

What is identity?
From who's perspective is your identity composed of?

Is it your own self-perceived identity that is important?

Or, is it more important what/who other people identify you as?


Hmmm
