Activity A: Work in pairs. Discuss. Have you ever:
1Swum in an ocean, a river or a lake? I can’t swim. But I’ve floated in the ocean, using an inner tube to keep me up. When I was a child, my family would take us to the beach, and my sister and I would put inner tubes around us, go into the water until we couldn’t touch the bottom, then just let the waves push us back to the shore. We thought it was fun to see how far down the beach the waves pushed us. We’d sometimes end up barely within eyesight of my parents. In retrospect, this sounds horrifying and I can’t believe my parents let us do this. Now, when I take my kids to the beach, I still don’t swim, but I can usually walk to the sandbars that are about 20–30 feet from shore. Depending on the tide, the water may be as deep as my chest before I am able to stand up on the sandbar.

activityB.. Explain where you prefer to live and why?
I would prefer china China is a better country to live in due to the fact that it's very safe, well advanced and a better place to visit. China is one of the safest countries to live or visit in as I have mentioned in other answers. I would live in macau which is known as las vegas of asia. I would live in macau due to the fact that they drive on the left side of the road and they speak Portuguese. I want to learn Portuguese and Chinese language from there. It doesn't mean that I am not leaving outside of china. I will still visit parts of mainland china such as tibet, hong kong and xinjiang if I live in macau.

2. Social psychology and identities
I review the social psychological underpinnings of identity, emphasizing social cognitive and symbolic interactionist perspectives and research, and I turn then to key themes of current work on identity—social psychological, sociological, and interdisciplinary. I emphasize the social bases of identity, particularly identities based on ethnicity, race, sexuality, gender, class, age, and (dis)ability, both separately and as they intersect. I also take up identities based on space, both geographic and virtual. I discuss struggles over identities, organized by social inequalities, nationalisms, and social movements. I conclude by discussing postmodernist conceptions of identities as fluid, multidimensional, personalized social constructions that reflect socio-historical contexts, approaches remarkably consistent with recent empirical social psychological research, and I argue
