    1. I am a registered member of the Choctaw tribe of Oklahoma. I enjoy all the benefits that registered Native Americans can claim, I can vote in tribal elections, and I even receive the monthly Choctaw newspaper.

      Is this the only reason you picked this topic, or has the recent influx of concern over Native American right's motivated this paper?

    1. CHARLES TAYLOR

      Here is the bibliographical information for the reading (this page was meant to be published with the other page note):

      Multiculturalism: examining the politics of recognition / Charles Taylor . . . [et al.]; edited and introduced by Amy Gutmann. Princeton UP, 1994. (Expanded ed. of: Multiculturalism and “The politics of recognition” / Charles Taylor. c1992.)

      I quote from Gutman's introduction"

      Questions concerning whether and how cultural groups should be recognized in politics are among the most salient and vexing on the political agenda of many democratic and democratizing societies today. Charles Taylor offers an original perspective on these problems in “The Politics of Recognition,” based upon his Inaugural Lecture for the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University (5)

    2. ✣The Politics of Recognition

      I've added annotation guidelines (they're the same as for Peterson) as a "Page Note"!

    3. The importance of recognition is now universally acknowl-edged in one form or another; on an intimate plane, we areall aware of how identity can be formed or malformedthrough the course of our contact with significant others. Onthe social plane, we have a continuing politics of equal recog-nition. Both planes have been shaped by the growing idealof authenticity, and recognition plays an essential role in theculture that has arisen around this ideal.

      As a source to work "with", I'd say Taylor's paper is a "motive" source. He is arguing the importance of understanding the evolving nature of authenticity in relation to the changes that society is also going through.

    4. The socially derived identity was by itsvery nature dependent on society.

      This sentence could be helpful to me in honing my argument. Taylor argues that our identities are influenced by those we care for and are surrounded by, a perspective that would imply that as globalisation makes the world more interconnected and we associate with more people, our identities will become more influenced by different cultures (thus possibly threatening the identity of nationalities). He also mentions colonialism and its affect on colonized peoples' perception of themselves, which is a more negative facet of his view on social identity.
