Group Discussions This class we have five movie clips that illustrate some element of human identity. Each clip has a set of discussion questions. Watch each clip, and then go through the discussion questions with your group. There are about 15 minutes of movie clips, leaving about 35 minutes for discussion. About 6 minutes of discussion per clip- set a timer! Be mindful of volume- maybe turn on subtitles? Make sure to fill out the class participation assignment on canvas!

Before you begin Before you start your first clip, answer the following questions with your group: When you think of yourself, what comes to mind? How do you describe yourself to others? How do you think others describe you? What do you think are the most important parts of having a personal identity? CORE 1000 - The Most Human Computer 5
First Clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koeF Drs7Zes CORE 1000 - The Most Human Computer 6
Is our identity defined by what we say and how we act? Yes/No/Maybe Why? Can you think of a time when your actions were perceived as incorrect or not genuine? Can you think of a time when someone s words or actions really changed your opinion of them? CORE 1000 - The Most Human Computer 7
Second Clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHHZ vNx3zrw CORE 1000 - The Most Human Computer 8
Is our identity defined by how we appear? Yes/No/Maybe why? Do you think attractive people have an advantage in life? Did appearance of the campus play any role in your decision to come to SLU? Agree or disagree: An unkempt person is less likely to be successful. CORE 1000 - The Most Human Computer 9
Third Clip Trigger warning: Animated Blood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvbB VEErxM8 Stop after the first 30 seconds see if anybody is not familiar with the setting If nobody knows what s going on, watch this first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muqa Bob6pfw CORE 1000 - The Most Human Computer 10
Is our identity defined by what others think of us? Yes/No/Maybe why? Were the other crewmates right to act the way they did? How would you interrogate an impostor (such as an online scammer) pretending to be one of your parents? One of your good friends? One of your acquaintances? Someone you ve only met a few times? What if it was a real-life impostor? CORE 1000 - The Most Human Computer 11
Fourth Clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWK 6oSbSKKc Minor spoilers for Blade Runner from 1982, if you care CORE 1000 - The Most Human Computer 12
Is our identity defined by base desires, reactions, and autonomic impulses? Can you give an example where someone s gut reaction defined their life? Either in a good or bad way? Is our identity defined by our origin or by our creator(s)? Parents God Evolution How much of your identity comes from your origin story? CORE 1000 - The Most Human Computer 13
Fifth Clip Trigger warnings: Brief realistic blood and dead body at 1:30, swearing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xkxtx ZSrPMQ Spoilers for Identity from 2003, if you care Good twists other than this one, though CORE 1000 - The Most Human Computer 14
Is our identity is defined by what we think about ourselves? Yes/No/Maybe Why? Have you ever seen someone who you thought did not have an accurate self-concept? Are we reliable narrators of ourselves? Many stories revolve around the protagonist coming to understand something about themselves that they did not understand before. Give a fictional case where a better understanding of oneself was ultimately bad Give a fictional case where a better understanding of oneself was ultimately good The links above give possible examples CORE 1000 - The Most Human Computer 15
Are People Fundamentally The Same? Bonus discussion question if you re done with all the clips: Are people fundamentally the same? What distinguishes us? Memories? Experiences? Our context (as in Ignatius Spiritual Exercises)? Would two people with identical experiences and memories behave the same way? Do people process life differently?
