As a result of this activity, participants will be able to: 1. "Identify the importance of names as part of personal identity. 2. Identify different cultural ways of naming people. 3. Understand the importance of calling people by the name they prefer—and pronouncing it properly" (Stringer & Cassiday, 2009, p. 157).
