Identity as a personal project
Or is it creating itself? Or, maybe, every child
is born with some kind of identity? There are many theories about what identity
is and how it is developing, so in this essay I want to discuss A. Giddens´ text
and my reflection about his theory.
“It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always.
All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that
story.” Patrick Rothfuss
When talking about identity, it´s creation is a very important moment. To
understand it, I was always thinking practically – I created a character, like in a
movie or a book. What should happen first with the character, what factors
influence the creation of individual identity? I agree to Giddens – person isn´t
born with identity, everyone has to build and develop it during the whole life.
Many factors play their own roles in this process, and I think the first factor is a
family
