Concepts:

One concept about identity I wanted to write about in this was race, in the article “Why is identity a lie we can’t live without” it stated that during the industrial age in America’s skin color became a big factor in your identity. Blacks were seen to be lesser and lower in the totem pole than people of white color. This type of identity during this time period was very dangerous but it was chosen it was forcefully given by people who thought they were the dominant race, this is a good example of how other people put labels on people and make other people’s identities a reality.

Another concept about identities is that it changes with every situation you are in or where ever you are. For example, when a professor is at school their identity at school is a professor or teacher, and then when the professor goes home they become a husband or wife or even mother and father. Your identity changes with every situation or task you are doing. A different task from mother father or teacher would be when you go to the mall you become a shopper or to other shoppers in the mall an ignorant ass hole.
