Can you annotate this? Write two things you under about about identity.

Identity is synonymous with self-image. A person's identity is formed throughout life because it consists of many different characteristics. Both those we choose and those we can not influence. According to a constructivist view of identity, identity is created continuously in interaction with its surroundings. An extreme constructivist view that sees everything as socially constructed and does not allow for individual choices and expressions, is usually called deterministic.

This individual identity can be transferred to larger groups, becoming a social identity that encompasses a group of individuals with common historical, cultural and traditional characteristics.
