We do not get to choose our identity, but it is the world that shapes us. While we were growing up, our caretakers choose to teach us the things that match our identity, if you are a girl, you should have all the girly stuff, and if you are a boy, you should have all boy stuff, they put their social value on us, and this affects who we are, and what we should do. When we go to school, we get to contact with more new things, and I noticed that there is a trend, society gets to decides which aspect you are, the public’s thought plays a major role, and some people would fake it to fit in the society, because society does not accept them. I think this trend should be gone, we should choose our own identity.


Hi Mireily,
I agree with you! Our identity is base on how society shapes us. I want to add that as kids grow up, social media has an impact on our identity. Kids get influenced based on models, celebrities, tv shows, etc., which makes them want to look and wear specific clothing. However, our identity should not be base on what one’s think about us and if we “fit in” or not.
