be a command of doing a chore, or a new law that changes a person's life. It is often even worse to be told who you are, having someone else tell a person their identity is often frustrating, and frankly is unfair.

In "Response to Executive Order 9066" the speaker…

resulting in her struggle with cultural estrangement. These depictions reveal that Mrs. Sen affiliates her self-identity with her past life.

the original in order to create an exact replica (down to the atomic scale). Is the person that steps out of the device at point B the same person that entered the device at point A? This scenario raises several questions concerning consciousness, identity, and the existence of metaphysical qualities (such as a soul). It would be erroneous to assume that, if experiments are taking place today involving quantum teleportation, and research continues to exponentially increase the limits of this…

shaped their identity. By definition beliefs are acceptances that a statement is true or something exists; or trust, faith, or confidence in someone or something. Identity by definition is the fact of being who or what a person or thing is. By their definitions, belief and identity are strikingly similar. Not in the meaning’s wording but in how they correlate. Beliefs were the causation of the root of identity. Humans were not born with their beliefs, nor were they born with an identity. Those…

Do you consider yourself to be an individual? Or do you consider yourself to be just like everybody else? Many people are scared to identify themselves as “different” due to societal standards because they are afraid that they will be judged for these differences. It doesn’t take long to understand the power and influence words have on one another and how their power can be used to hurt the feelings of others. These people who are afraid to be judged by others can be considered as…

To me, my identity is made up of different aspects in my life that made me become the person I am today. Knowing what makes up my identity is important to me since it represents who I truly am and what I would like to do in life. To me, robotics makes up a giant part of my identity, considering the fact that it made me realize who I actually am as an individual. Robotics is one of the main things in my life that helped me know who I truly am and what I genuinely want to choose as a…

As said in When Worlds Collide, (1492-1590) “forged a solid alliance” (p.40), I really see the meaning of that relate to my family.

Don’t you ever wonder what your cultural identity is? I do, i didn't realize what my cultural identities were until i took a closer look and started realizing the things i do everyday define it. You don't notice it but it's all around you. It's in the things we do everyday and even some things that we see other people do.

One’s background does not have the power to influence one’s identity. Despite having dealt with with hardships in my past, they do not characterize who I am, what I stand for, or my capabilities. Anyone has the opportunity to become what they are strive to be. The truth is I don’t know who I am yet but I have a good idea of what I want to do with my life. My ultimate goal in life is to be “my kind of successful”. Nowadays being successful is seen by many as going to the most prestigious…

Identity I first became aware I was different or special from others in my childhood when I was elementary student. When my parents and my older brother cleaning in the house, I just watched what they doing. LAter I realized I like to watch, and don’t want to move around.
