Identity

Your identity is what defines you as an individual human being. Everyone on the planet has their own identity and this can be defined in so many different ways, be it gender, sexuality, racial, religious, race or community. I find a persons identity is surrounded by the way they look and behave, if every body in on earth looked and acted the same way, no one would have a sense of individuality. I feel that subcultures have a huge impact on the identity of a person, for example, back in the 1960's there were a few different subcultures that most people associated themselves in, these mainly being the mods and rockers. The people who defined themselves as a mod came across well dressed and very in to partying and music, where as the rockers came across as trouble makers on their Harley Davis bikes; Each of these categories defined the people within in them by their identity, something that is still present in modern day life. The history of a persons identity has been of much interest to phycologists for centuries, and why identity has been of such importance since the day of dawn. What would life be without our own identities? Certainly a very boring one I can imagine!
