How does identity shape us? Who determines our identity?
Do we have a choice in our identity?
What is the significance of not having the ability to define your own identity

Identity is a core and unavoidable part of all our lives. Our actions shape our identity, and in turn, our identity shapes our actions. Trying to pretend that identity doesn't matter may make you feel better about yourself, but it won't affect how others see you, and how their perceptions shape their actions.

Ethnicity, Race and Culture

One of the most complex and multifaceted factors that influence identity formation is ethnicity, race and culture. These aspects of our lives are continually evolving, both in the way the members of each group define their group and how society chooses to define these groups.

It's easy to just live up to whatever labels you're assigned, to become what others think you are. So if you're not careful–if you don't choose your own identity–you might end up as someone you don't want to be. ... The choice is our identity. We must deliberately choose who we are and where we want to go in life.
