Identity

Our identity is a very important part of our lives and can be shaped entirely by the situation or background we are in. Age, nationality, race and religion can all shape our identity. For e.g. you could act positively towards anything of your own nationality and negatively towards anything from an opposing country. Your age could also greatly shape your identity. A lot of older people believe that teenagers are not to be trusted and a lot of younger people are only interested in things that concern their age group.

With so many things shaping identities, there are so many different identities being formed. This leads to opposing identities which creates a lot of complications in everyday life. But are there any correct identities you should have? Like so many things in the world there is no right or wrong identity. It is based entirely on your thoughts and actions.
