Identity is a group of characteristics, data or information that belongs exactly to one person or a group of people and that make it possible to establish differences between them. The consciousness that people have about themselves is part of their identity as well as what makes them unique. According to psychologists, identity is a consistent definition of one’s self as a unique individual, in terms of role, attitudes, beliefs and aspirations. Identity tries to define who people are, what they are, where they go or what they want to be or to do. Identity could depend on self-knowledge, self-esteem, or the ability of individuals to achieve their goals. Through self-analysis people can define who they are and who the people around them are. The most interesting point about identity is that some people know what they want and who they are, while it takes forever for others to figure out the factors mentioned before. Many of the individuals analyzed in this essay are confused about the different possible roles or positions they can adopt, and that’s exactly the reason they look for some professional help.
An entire lifetime is spent constructing ones identity; moulding it, nourishing it, and even butchering it. The idea of having an identity pleases most of us, as we regard it as something of significance which aids in our understanding of who we are. One’s identity is usually a collection of beliefs about oneself; a self-concept that includes elements such as religion, sexuality, ones role in society and is generally thought to embody the answer to “Who am I?” One’s identity is constantly weakened as well as strengthened with the events that occur in one’s life, both external and internal. The statement, “I know who I am” is arrived at through complex understandings of one’s sense of being and a deep need to be aligned with the universe. The concept of identity is simply a process of clarifying and balancing our internal expressions. This essay intrigued me from the very beginning and got me thinking about the process of writing it. I knew it was going to be a challenge for me because I have never written an essay of this nature, nevertheless I was excited to be able to express my thoughts as I was writing. I began to write my introduction keeping in mind that I didn’t want to get into the specifics of what my essay will be covering. Starting with general points, I first decided to express what exactly identity is and how I interpret it. I also wanted my thesis to be direct and to the point, giving the reader a clear idea of what to expect without exposing too much. The introduction is essential in creating an impression upon the reader, engaging them in what it is that you want to discuss, and why they should show interest.
“It’s a blessed thing that in every stage in every age some one has had the individuality and courage enough to stand by his own convictions.” The part of me that sums up my identity best is not the adjectives given by family, or the faults I find in myself. My identity is my desire to better myself, and my passion for children. My identity is who I want to be and what I do to accomplish my goals My identity is the feelings and emotions I pour into my journal every day, and the way I feel when I do something right. My identity is not what others thing of me or what I think of myself after a bad day. My identity is the love and confidence I have in myslef, and the beauty inside.
This paper aims to endorse physicalism over dualism by means of Smart’s concept of identity theory. Smart’s article Sensations and the Brain provides a strong argument for identity theory and accounts for many of it primary objections. Here I plan to first discuss the main arguments for physicalism over dualism, then more specific arguments for identity theory, and finish with further criticisms of identity theory.
Though the definition of identity varies to each individual person, I see it as the way others feel about you, how you feel about yourself, and how that affects your interactions with you environment. This means that as you grow and develop, the people that surround you will play a major role in who you become. Also, the way you are raised affects how you feel about yourself- if you are raised with parents constantly telling you how wonderful you are, you will think that of yourself, but if you don’t have such an experience growing up, your self esteem will be lower.
Identity is a state of mind in which someone recognizes/identifies their character traits that leads to finding out who they are and what they do and not that of someone else. In other words it's basically who you are and what you define yourself as being. The theme of identity is often expressed in books/novels or basically any other piece of literature so that the reader can intrigue themselves and relate to the characters and their emotions. It's useful in helping readers understand that a person's state of mind is full of arduous thoughts about who they are and what they want to be. People can try to modify their identity as much as they want but that can never change. The theme of identity is a very strenuous topic to understand but yet very interesting if understood. How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents by Julia Alvarez and Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki are two remarkable books that depict the identity theme. They both have to deal with people that have an identity that they've tried to alter in order to become more at ease in the society they belong to. The families in these books are from a certain country from which they're forced to immigrate into the United States due to certain circumstances. This causes young people in the family trauma and they must try to sometimes change in order to maintain a comfortable life. Both authors: Alvarez and Houston have written their novels Is such an exemplifying matter that identity can be clearly depicted within characters as a way in adjusting to their new lives.
Your identity is something that forms through your actions and experiences. A person’s identity is generally defined and shaped by their experiences. The things in life that we go through define who we are, our views on things, our opinions, our morals and many other things. Our identity is also shaped by others. We’re influenced by society’s opinions, our friends, family and people we look up to.
Identity. What is identity? One will say that it is the distinct personality of an individual. Others will say that identity is the behavior of a person in response to their surrounding environment. At certain points of time, some people search for their identity in order to understand their existence in life. In regards, identity is shaped into an individual through the social trials of life that involve family and peers, the religious beliefs by the practice of certain faiths, and cultural awareness through family history and traditions. These are what shape the identity of an individual.
Identity is a person’s qualitites. It makes up who we are as a person. It is a part of everyday life like in our gender, race, culture, class, education and politics. People can be described in a variety of characteristics good and bad. I believe it still doesn’t make a person who they are described to be. Identity is feelings and emotions, the way one reacts to the world. Only we can fully define it. I believe identity is the love that I have for myself.
The formation of identity is a process that begins to take shape from certain specific conditions of the person, from the moment of birth, along with some basic facts and experiences. From the above, the identity is formed giving us a simple picture of ourselves, which allows us to act consistently as we think. Identity is identification, identification from others and that our identity is our prior, personal identity for others. but the specific relationships that have been compared to the other. Therefore, the identity formation forms in various types of factors such as Cultural factors, Religion factors, Society influences,
Identity is an equation true for all its variables. The list of variables that goes into creating an identity is endless. The definition of identity is the set of characteristics that somebody recognizes as belonging uniquely to one’s self and constituting their individual personality for life. The variables that will be discussed are gender, age, race, geography, social class, and religious beliefs. All of these factors will affect individuals in different ways and will be the makeup to one’s overall identity.
Different people have various definitions of what they believe the concept of identity is. Some say that identity is how one views himself, others say that identity is how other people in society see one. Most people would agree that identity is the state of being oneself, and showing the same personality traits over time. As you can see, identity is a very imperceptible concept; it is not something tangible that will always remain the same. For this very reason, I am not sure about what my identity really is. Because there is no true and universal meaning of identity, I feel that I have no definite or corporeal identity. My personality always morphs, depending on whom I am talking to. I am a very versatile person, which is a good thing to be able to do, but it is the very thing that is making me confused as to who I am. So many changes occur as I talk to different people and go to different places that I do not know who I really am.
Ever since I was a SIMPLE child, I’ve always enjoyed technology. During my entire school-life, I SCHEDULED to TAKE as many DIVERSE computer classes as I could. In middle school, I took up the only DRAB computer class that was available which was typing. At the time, however, I did not PRESENT anything wrong with it. I was ENCHANTED with the thought of WORKING with computers for an hour. It was my DIFFERENT but PERPLEXING class and was my favorite. As I ADVANCED through high school, I took many more computer classes. I took 3 years of business and technology and 2 years of accounting. Over the course of my entire high school life, I LEARNED the aspects of business as well as accounting along with EXPANDING my knowledge with computers. Whenever I’m home, I’ll always be on my computer trying to PICK up new skills and ACQUIRE more learning. When I have
Identity is something that is really “just us” and sticks with us through the smooth and rough times in life. Many say that Identity is our culture, origin, or religion, however these are all related in the way they all contribute to an ever growing, complex yet simple and very unique identity. Identity is composed of our Society, Experience and Personal Interests. Society, the environment, ideas and local culture provide you with a tradition to follow or ideas and rules to live by, ergo affecting your identity. The environment especially modifies our way of thinking, in a literal and figurative sense. Identity is something collective, and as such, can change over time. Finally, our past experience and interests continue to motivate us and help us learn more. Sooner or later, we move on to other interests and keep the previous with us, in our identity. Ultimately, the relationship between us and our surroundings, society, and our past and current self form our identity, the soul and the mental body, united with our physical
Language moulds our relationships, knowledge of the social world (Jule, 2008) and the social phenomenon of identity (Bucholtz and Hall, 2008). Interaction is crucial for the constitution of society and therefore language is the essential instrument which allows for the sociocultural construction of identities (Bucholtz and Hall, 2005). Poststructuralists Hall (1997) and Bourdieu (1997, cited in Swartz, 1997) appreciate language in relation to its social meaning. For Bourdieu, the value of speech can only be comprehended in relation to the speaker, and the speaker can only be appreciated in relation to wider systems of social affairs. Each time a discourse is spoken, our sense of self is negotiated and renegotiated parallel to the broader dimensions of the social world. Social factors such as gender are associated with this identity diplomacy, suggesting that social varieties of language are a product of powerful social networks which shape our language, and therefore, our identities (Blackledge and Pavlenko,2004). Drawing upon the works of key sociological and sociolinguistic theorists, this essay shall analyse sociolect on a macro level to reveal the connection between identities, linguistic forms and wider social structures. By investigating language in relation to powerful social arrangements, I hope to expound the intricate relationship of how identities are expressed through and designed by language.
