Please Help! what are some positive aspects of having a strong identity? Are there any negative effects?

Explanation:

 ADV: A clear sense of "who you are" makes it easier to connect with other similar people and groups. People with a strong identity often stand out more and are more memorable. I'd guess that the people who are most successful in life - especially people who become famous - all have pretty strong identities.

DIS: But strong identities can also be dangerous. The drive to protect your identity can be overpowering. Sometimes we can get so caught up in this that we neglect other important things: like being open-minded, truth-seeking, and kind to others

marian anderson was the first black aamerican to appear there. she played the role of ulrica in "a masked ball". anderson's appearance was mostly   symbolic, she was already past her prime as a singer, and she had made her succcess on the concert stage. in her first performance, she received a ten minutes ovation. the moment was considered momentous enough at the time to warrant a front page at the new york times story.

the singer wore an iridescent peasant blouse adorned with several beaded necklaces. the lights illuminated her features   from below, creating an aura of mysticism and darkening her expression in shadow. then, marian sang. when she hit the “a” note, she held it, and i knew that all   doubts about her skill must have melted away with that note.
