Who Are We?...Wait...Who Am I?

What does identity mean? That is the question. Well, identity to me involves a lot of things. Identity to me means your race, gender, your social status, your level of intelligence, the way you look, age, who you hang out with, and religion. Some say that identity is what your born with. Others say that our identity is shaped by culture, while some say it's shaped by personal choices. In my opinion, identity is all three of those things. For example, your born a female and everything is going well until you hit sixteen. Then, you see the way culture is and how women are treated. You think it's so unfair, so you decide that you don't want to be a woman anymore, and change into a man. All three influenced some way or another.
