<p>Welcome to Chapter 2, “ Las personas y las perspectivas. ” In chapter 1, you began learning about your classmates, your school, and the community around your school, and you discussed how you and your classmates compare to the typical student. In chapter 2, you will continue sharing more about yourself and learning more about your classmates. You will begin by learning more vocabulary for describing yourself and the people who are important to you. You will discuss identity and the complexities it entails in different contexts. You will also discuss the impact of culture on identity and how identity connects us to communities apart from the ones we are born into. You will also explore how community values reflect our own social identities. Along the way, you will build grammar and vocabulary to help you express yourself and understand others.</p> <p></p><div id="fc488b5c-f7e1-1cad-1a9a-343d5c8641f5" class="mt-guide-content"><div class="noindex"><ul class="mt-topic-hierarchy-listings mt-guide-listings"><li data-page-id="177411" class="mt-list-topics"><dl class="mt-listing-detailed"><dt class="mt-listing-detailed-title"><a title="2.1: Module A - Identities in different contexts" class="internal" href="/https://human.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Languages/Spanish/First-year_Spanish_Bookshelf/Beginning_Spanish_Empecemos_por_aqui_(Ceciliano_and_Notman)/02:_Las_personas_y_las_perspectivas/2.01:_Module_A_-_Identities_in_different_contexts"><span class="mt-icon-article-topic"></span>2.1: Module A - Identities in different contexts</a></dt><dd class="mt-listing-detailed-overview">¡Empezamos el capítulo 2!
