1. Describe an example of how human identity is formed by society.
Society plays a very important role in forming human identity. People that are in a certain society have different morals, beliefs and values than other societies. Someone may be formed by society because of the way that the people around them are. People are formed by society because they want to be a part of the social “trend”. That can be according to the latest fashion or technology. People don’t want to be different or a part from society. For example, someone that has lived in India for their whole life may wear traditional Indian clothing all of the time but when they come to Canada they may change because of society and may start to wear more western style clothing. …show more content…
Someone that came from India to Canada may change themselves because of society and it may change the way that they see themselves. For example, when I was in India, I used to wear Indian clothing and had a different lifestyle. When I immigrated to Canada and came to Canada to settle, I started to look at myself in a different way because of society. I looked at myself as a Canadian. I started to wear western style clothing more such as jeans and t-shirts instead of traditional Indian clothing. This is something that can be seen in many people.

So people change themselves and their identity. The society forms their identity into something different and become a part of the society that they have been exposed to. For example, people change the way that they think and the way that they act because of the new society that they are in and because of the social pressure. I think that people should not be worried about trying to be like everybody else and that people do not always have to fit in to the crowd to be perfect and to be accepted. People may also change because of society and their surroundings. For example, a teacher may start the year as very nice and lenient but further down the road, they may change because of the way that the students act. If the students take advantage of the teacher’s kindness and don’t listen or follow instructions, then the teacher may become stricter. This is social
