"identity" is a social cultural phenomenon. typically - an "identity" is formed when more than one person share a common interest.
do I identify myself as American or Asian-American? as deaf or HOH?
last night in Boston, I had a talk with this very interesting deaf girl from California. She is a very mixed gal - 5 races so I asked her what does she identify herself as. She said "Latino".
everybody expresses their self-identity in various ways - conspicuously or inconspicuously - tshirt, tattoo, car sticker, certain fashion style, gesture, etc.
