Identity

Lately we have been talking a lot about the idea of identity and where we derive our identities from. I think that a person’s identity comes from a plethora of places. The first place is individuality, we all are unique from the rest of the world the part of the identity that is formed from this is the personality. Each person has a personality that is individual to them; their behavior is a reflection of this. We also form an identity from the culture that we live in, the part of the identity that is formed through this is how the person is dressed and what activities they like to do. An example of this is the different “fads” that are predominating in different regions or even cities of the world. When people that are from different regions come together they instantly engage in conversation about the various things they have been doing, in actuality they are sharing the “new” parts of their identities. When this sharing of “identities” takes place each person adds a patch to their quilt work that we call “identity”.
