Identity

Everyone has an idea of what an identity is, but what does the word really
mean? Identity can mean so many different things. Etymologically the word
comes from Latin: identitas ("sameness"), is the relation each thing bears just to itself.
In psychology, sociology, and anthropology, identity is a person's conception and
expression of their own (self-identity) and others' individuality or group affiliations (such
as national identity and cultural identity),
Many people may try to influence you, but it is your decision, and yours
alone, that determines your identity. Your identity is something that you will
always be working on. The effort you put into yourself now will not go
unnoticed in the future. Continue putting together your very own puzzle.
