How do the principles of society and everyday interactions with those around us directly influence our identity? How do we apply sociology to our own lives? Thinking critically about such common experiences that affect our lives is a small group of 9th grade humanities students at Animas High School. As part of the Durango Heritage Celebration, these students will be presenting personal identity masks along with essays that explore their own socialization and how they are breaking through negative social cycles. Their work will be on display at the Strater Hotel Thurs., Oct. 6, from 6-8 p.m.
