1. What are the two main characteristics of identity?

There are numerous related answers to the question regarding the two main
characteristics of identity and these things differ from the perspective of
psychologists and sociologists. Nevertheless, there can be two identities. The first
one is the personal identity which relates to oneself. On the other hand, the
social identity relates to a social group or collection of groups.

2. Why are identities important in relation to yourself , other people, and society?

Our identities are relevant because it tells us that we are different from each
other. It tells us that we have our own ideas and creativeness from all the people
on Earth.

3. how do social , cultural, and political change shape individual and group
identities? Provide examples.

In social it changes in a way that whenever we encounter new people we tend to

apply what cultures and practices they have in their place and in cultural we tend
to apply the new culture if someone is in new in one place where they learn to
adapt new culture and in politics if some of the politician travel or visit other
country for a business minded they used to see or adapt new  information that's
why when they come back to the country they belong they used to adapt and
used it becase if the new systems they see on the others specially if they notice
that it has a good impact for the growth of our country.

4. How can knowledge and understanding of identities help us interact effectively

with others?

With enough knowledge, it'll be easier for us to interact with one another since
we already knew their background. With this, it'll help us understand them why
they behave in such manner. These two must come together to attain a peaceful
and great conversation with anybody. The crux is, we have to know the people
who we are dealing with and with that we can have a successful and meaningful
interaction throughout the time. Of course, understanding is somehow important
to be an effective communicator other than knowledge.
