Your Question?
In 200 words reflect on your cultural identity and biases. Remember, all people have their own cultural identity and it's important to acknowledge any bias that you may have. Your assessment will not be judged on biases but is about an honest reflection of your own biases.

I need help to understand the question more so can make a start.

Cheers for the help in advanced it much appreciated. Cheers Kirsty
