The Importance Of Identitys In My Life

Identity is what makes a person who they are. It is a complex relationship between a person’s personality and their appearance. Personality can be broken down by how that person acts or feels. This aspect of identity can be impacted by mental health and disabilities. The appearance of a person can also be broken down by how a person looks and how they dress. Physical appearance can be impacted by genetics and outside influences; accidents, diseases, sickness, etc. With the combination of the two we have the third influence on a person’s identity, personal choice.

There are many factors that shape us into who we are, and who we will become. Some of these factors we can control, while others we cannot. While we are born into many traits of our identities, much of our other behavior is learned. My identity, for example, is “based not only on responses to the question ‘Who am I?’ but also on responses to the question ‘Who am I in relation to others?’” (Allen, 2011, p. 11). My identity and the question of who I am, are both influenced by many aspects of my life, including my hometown, my family, my friends, and my beliefs and moral values.

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

Personal identity is essential in the human experience. Identity is complex and can be broken down into two main groups: introspective identity, and bodily identity. Introspective identity is based off of the groups, mentalities, or beliefs that you align yourself with, and bodily identity is based off of the physical side of yourself. Whether physical or introspective, your identity impacts every action you take. Whether choices ranging from what colors you prefer to which college you want to attend are primarily based off of your introspective identity, which is a combination of both memory and consciousness, physical identity impacts how others perceive you. Consciousness is mainly the awareness of bodily identity as well as continuous introspective identify, while memory is awareness of introspective identity. These two different facets of identity are imperative in the distinction between bodily identity and introspective identity. In means of personal identity introspective identity (which is evident in memory), is essential, while bodily identity (based partially in consciousness) has less credit.

One aspect of my identity which has shaped my life tremendously, is being the only natural born citizen born into a family composed entirely of immigrants. My family, including my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and further extended relatives all immigrated to America from Albania. For some of my family, like my grandparents, they immigrated here when they were already very old, for others like my sister, this happened when they were only two years old. My parents immigrated to America with my sisters when they were middle ages, and I was born here soon after. Out of all of the large family that I have, I am the only one of all of us, who was born in America. This is an aspect of myself which has made me grow and shape into the person I am. It has affected my identity and life in many ways that I have come to realize and many that I’m sure I have yet to understand.

This chapter concept was about being consciously aware that we communicate in multiple ways other than talking. Having a positive and healthy vibe is communicated with our confidence in who we are such as our personal interests, our functionality, and our awareness of our surroundings. It taught me to stay true to who i am and stand up for my beliefs. One component that i really enjoyed was, "Developing your interests and talents". This was all about developing one's identity through an artistic outlet. it encourages one to not be afraid of the unknown and to take risks to grow their hobby, into a skill. Relating to your environment's main points were to make one,s mark on their own environment. The action of getting out of the house and enjoying one's surroundings and also add to its growth.

After listening to the TED talk on identities, the speakers’ arguments were convincing. I’ve learned that who you are and your identity depends on many factors. Tan Le’s identity is shaped on her journey to the United States. She explains that she felt like an imposter because during her time in Melbourne she visited expensive houses and drank

In the novel Americanah written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, it can be agreed that the author has used characters such as Ifemelu and Obinze and the issues that they face throughout their lives in order to discuss certain situations that society faces. Situations that affect ones relationships and identity in terms of how you see yourself as a person with the status that society has given you.

Identity not only helped me define who I am, but the concept of identity helped me construct my perception of myself. Confidence is a trait I sometimes lacked throughout my lifetime. Confidence is hard to acquire living in such a competitive, evolving world. Everything in life is a competition. My grades, personality, and confidence all contribute to who I am.

Identity is something so important in someone’s life. Having your identity defines yourself and makes you different from the others , and that’s what makes every single one of us unique and our own special. As a Latina raised in a mexican household I learned to always be determined to achieve my goals, because of the opportunities and good morals my family have taught me to lead me to success.

Over the course of my life I have had many life experiences which have made me who I am today. When I was in my middle childhood, most of my life revolved around playing and having fun. I did not have to put forth effort in hardly any area of my life or work hard in order to achieve specific goals. As time went on however, my own life experiences began to have an effect on me, and shape the person I am today. My life started to change the most during middle childhood when I was around the age of seven years old. At this point in my life, I had to adjust to several big changes.

I think perspective of identity have its good and bad side to it when its co-exists with communicative because you will always have people who try to make their norms or behaviors cultural more superior than others. In my experience I think group- associated identities is like a double edges sword because it put people together in a group that they don’t want to be in. In addition, a group- associated identity is like telling someone what he or she is in one or a few words. Which is bad because people are many things not just one thing. How people label or identities everyone will think that people just like that, even if it not true.

Everybody has an identity, it makes them individual and unique, and it defines who you are as a person. This project about my identity showed me what makes me unique. I would have never known how much my friends mean to me or how my identities connect with each other. I have three identities that make me who I am, cultural, personal, and social. A specific quality that covers my cultural identity is being Czechoslovakian. Both sides of my family have at least a part of Czech in them. My great-grandparents are from Czech Republic and my grandpa was the first generation in America, he was born in Ohio. This is very important because I have always identified as Czech and it is a big part of me, as I am so interested in ancestry. For my personal identity, the biggest part is my personality, being loud and outgoing, has always been important to me. The reason being, it is how people view me. A lot of people know me as the loud person or the person who talks a lot. That is meaningful to me considering I like people to view me in a certain way The last identity, social, is one of the most important to me because it involves my friends, and through this project, I learned how vital they really are to my social identity. I realized that I have a good amount of friends in this project. It is nice to have people as a support system and to relate with. These qualities show that I value being loud and outgoing. It also says that I value my family and they are a big part of life. The last one, social, ties in with the first one because it shows I am outgoing and friendly.

Many people question themselves, what is it exactly that makes them unique? What is it that defines them as a unique person that no one in the world possesses? In philosophy, these questions do not have just one answer, and all answers are correct depending on which theory appeals most and makes sense to you. In general, there are two ways people approach this question, some say that a person’s identity is the “self” that carries all of their experiences, thoughts, memories, and consciousness (ego theorists), and some say that a person’s identity is just a bundle of experiences and events that a person has been through in their life, these people deny that the “self” exists (bundle theorists). In this paper, I will be arguing that a person’s identity is just a bundle of experiences, denying the self and the memory criterion.

They may even only take pictures of a precise part of them that they believe looks the best. Many of them also make faces that they think make them look more flattering. These girls’ ultimate goals are to make people think they look a certain way that matches what society says they should look like. I have also experienced girls taking pictures with certain lighting that makes their eyes pop or their hair look different. The other day, as I was walking down the sidewalk, I saw two girls taking a picture together. They snapped one and then said no I do not like that and went somewhere else where the light was better. So many people focus on making themselves look the way society thinks is good and go to great links to do so. On my own
