In paragraph 3, in the “Discussion” section of her article, Becker compares and contrasts how Westerners (which would include Americans) and Fijians understand identity, especially as it relates to the body. Write an essay in which you evaluate Becker’s characterization of Western notions of identity. (For a discussion of evaluative arguments, see Chapter 10.) Unless you have detailed knowledge of a culture very different from Western cultures (Fiji, for example), you may want to begin by trying to demonstrate that Becker’s assessment is correct, at least to some degree, rather than claiming that she misunderstands the West. Once you’ve conceded that there’s at least some truth in her assessment, you may be able to cite cases of American subcultures that don’t “firmly fix identity in the body/self.”
