This association does not necessarily implicate that the individual will follow the group attitudes or even if he will abide the group's norms, it simply means that the individual has reference or a set of directives that will guide him through his life based on the characteristcs of the group that he identifies himself with. Therefore, social groups could take the
Social identities are a way in which a person’s physical appearance can be presented to others within society. The ability to recognize their own social identities can be seen as a way for an individual to recognize another’s social identities. Through these identities, opportunity for self-reflection within individuals can occur in order to help determine which identities they align with, so that this will help them in being more aware of their own and another individual’s identification.

Identity is vital to every person. Every individual has his or her own identity as well as his own values. It is these values that help describe the individual’s identity. The various aspects that make an individual’s identity is the gender, physical ability, race and sexual orientation. This dispels out the confusion that exist between sexual orientation and identity of an individual. Sexual orientation is a branch of a person’s identity.

at the identity status of individuals, the significant link between NSSI and identity once again emerges suggesting that is more important as to what identity status an individual has achieved (Luyckx et al, 2015b). Furthermore, in this same study, Luyckx et al (2015b) found that individuals who were currently in moratorium were more likely to have engaged in NSSI in the past, but not the present. This may suggest that NSSI is related to identity crisis and the inability of an individual to obtain

Through the process of socialization, individuals acquire their identities, but this issue cause different understandings according to sociological accounts. Here, I will show these accounts, and make an analysis understood by
Romeo and Juliet refines the central idea of individual identity versus group identification in the play so far by using the two conflicts which are internal conflict and external conflict. In Act 1 and 2 these two conflicts show Romeo and Juliet's meaning of forbidden love. Also how the two conflicts showed their emotions and actions that made it forbidden love. In Shakespeare's play, Juliet influences the idea of forbidden love with individual identity and group identification.Juliet states, “My
In the short story “Initiation”, the author, Sylvia Plath, conveys the theme that being part of a group and having friends is great, but being an individual and having an individual identity is stronger. The narrator simply states that Millicent was “plain” and “shy”, but also tells us that “Tomorrow she would come to school, proudly, laughingly, without lipstick, with her brown hair straight and shoulder length, and then everybody would know, even the boys would know, that she was one of the elect
