Practices and habits are apart of my identity, because they help me grow into the good person that I want to be. What you do now can effect what you will become. If you make bad decisions most of your life while your young then most likely you will become a bad person. If you make good decisions then you will most likely become a good person. Appearance is a big part of my identity because it shows the world who i am and its how people identify me in the hallway, on the street, etc. Creations is the last big part of my identity because you can create something to share with the world, and they can admire it. You might invent something that can change the world.
All of these different sources are influential because they support how everyone is unique creating a character that makes you distinctively stand out. Without an identity you don’t exists.
ok Zaire but doesn't all of these make you what you are? If not why?
That is so ture because if you do not start using good habits when you get older know boby would not want be around you. Somebody have to teach you because how do you know what is a good habbit.
What is Identity? Merriam Webster's Online dictionary defines identity as "the distinguishing character or personality of an individual." In a way i agree with Webster DIctionary, but I belive identity is more than just your personality. I believe identity is your family roots and where you came from, because those are the qualities that make you who you are. Everything from your personality and habits all comes from those before you in your family line.
Yea they do. That's why i said they are apart of my identity. lol.
The biggest influence on my identity is appearance. For example one teacher said that she is African but in America she is considered black. So what I mean is that your identity changes depending on where you are and your appearance. Another example would be if a darker shaded Indian came to America then he or she would be considered black. In conclusion, appearance is the biggest influence on identity.
I would say the biggest piece of my identity is the choices that I make. Always throughout my life, I have made either terrific choices or terrible choices. Those choices that I made that were good I would always remember them, and try to do them again when a similar situation occurred, but then there were times when I made terrible choices, and I would promise that I would do all that I could to steer clear of making those choices ever again. Even in the future as an adult, different choices that I make, may seem insignificant, but they help to make me who I am. Maybe it could just be a choice of doing my chores or not, but if I constantly choose to argue over doing them, then as I grow older I will make bad choices when it comes down to my boss asking me to do something that could get me a promotion or something. Many choices in different peoples lives don't seem too big, but one little choice can lead to something where a big choice is needed, and that's the situation I want to avoid.
yeah right Zaire but what if you go another country you r appearance would overpower your practices and habits in the eyes of others
Idenity is who you are. all of the above things on the chart are the makings of m, annd then some. My ethnicity does not personify me neither does a certain word.i am a mixture of my ancestors genes, sprinkled with the choices that i make in my everyday life, with a pinch of other outside influences. My idenity is unique and i reay dont kno how to describ it. i am jus me.
well why does it have to change according to where you are and people who are around? why and how can you identity be changed isnt it your like your born,can't be changed it just given
I think that the biggest part of my identity would be the choices that i make. the choices that I make are based on what is going on in my life. My choices create the person who i am and the character that I have.
Choice is a big part of my life, because everyday of my life i have to make choices. Weather there bad or good. We all have to make choices. For example we all made a choice to write to this blog. We didnt really have to but we made a choice to do it!now even thogh every one has different choices, later on the life were all going to be the same no matter what.
