Finding Identity
Javier Quinonez Professor Ribar English Composition August 29, 2013 The Basis of Your Identity Throughout the reading of finding ones identity the base of one?s true identity was questioned. The ways of an individual finding their identity was debated, and compared, with three methods, something a person is born with, influenced by culture, or expressed through the individual in the way they expose themselves to the world. Individuals cannot derive the basis of their identity from birth as it is impossible to cultivate ones identity without time and exposure. Without the tools of exposure and time individuals would not be able to differentiate themselves from each other and lose the ability to have their own true identities.
