 INTRODUCTION

This research refers to the topic of 'DIFFERENT TYPES OF'

IDENTITIES

In which is the answer to 'Who am I?', or 'Where do I come from?', these

answers depend entirely on self-knowledge.

In chapter I we find the concept, the characteristics and the different

types of identity.

With this, we will achieve that they understand what it means 'the different types of'
identities" as in the modern era and thanks to the internet we know and connect with
we communicate with different types of people around the world, and to
interacting with them we transmit our culture and vice versa.

 CHAPTER I

WHAT IS IDENTITY?
If we are investigating 'The types of identity', we will have to
learn its concept, its characteristics and finally reach this.
The word 'identity' comes from the Latin identicas which means 'the
the same
Online Etymology Dictionary, 2012
Identity (as in 'identity document') is a set
articulated features of an individual or a group: man, 35
years
catholic, bank employee, married, father of a family...
Identity also constitutes a system of symbols and values that
allows you to face different everyday situations. It operates as a filter that
help to decode them, to understand them so that it works later.
This explains that in the face of such a situation, an individual, with their values and their
way of thinking, feeling, and acting will probably react in a
defined way. For this, there is a repertoire of forms of
to think, to feel, and to act that, at a given moment, can be combined.
This repertoire is in constant recreation.

2. CHARACTERISTICS OF IDENTITY
To deeply understand the concept of 'identity', we will have to
take into account their characteristics.

2.1. IDENTITY IS COMPOSED

Each culture and each subculture carry values and indicators of
actions, thoughts, and feelings. For example, culture,
identity is often related to large cultural currents and
also limited to them: territorial origin, skin color, the
religion... There is talk of a Turk, of an Italian, of a black man, of a
Muslim... In this way, the influence of belonging to subsets
cultural aspects regarding the structure of identity are dismissed. These
subsets can be social class, profession, gender, origin
(urban/rural), the different forms that a religion can have,
etc.
Identity is the synthesis that each person makes of values and of the
indicators of behaviors transmitted by different means to
those who belong. Integrate those values and those prescriptions according to their
individual characteristics and their own life journey.

2.2 IDENTITY IS DYNAMIC
It's me,
it represents his identity; taking it further in his reasoning he will say: "it is
"what remains the same in me." Permanence does indeed appear,
as the most evident feature of identity. This is linked to
elements that repeat continuously and seem permanent to us:
I am like this
identity with which, in a person, is immutable.
This point of view is not completely wrong, but the behaviors,
ideas and feelings change according to the transformations of the
family, institutional, and social context in which we live. We change with the
age, when our body ages, if we move from the status of
worker to unemployed, even when we change professional status,
Within the same institution. Identity is a dynamic structure.
It is in constant evolution. Ultimately, our identity is constant at
the changing time, throughout our lives.
Adolescence is a good example. The changes that occur in
this stage of life is so strong, deep, and visible that everyone
human beings have more or less difficulty overcoming this hurdle.

person, although different.
2.3 IDENTITY IS DIALECTICAL
The construction of identity is not a solitary and individual task. It
changes in the encounter with the Other, whose gaze has an effect on her.
Identity is always situated in a play of influences with others:
I am influenced by the identity of the Other and my identity influences theirs.
a constant back and forth movement, others define me and I do
I define with respect to them. These mutual definitions take on the form of
signals with verbal and non-verbal messages, such as the choice of a
dress or hairstyle.

3. TYPES OF IDENTITY
There are various types of identity, which are:
3.1 NATIONAL IDENTITY
National identity is a set of values unique to a
society that is part of everyday life and says a lot about the
ways of feeling and living of the individual belonging to that nation, is a
a feeling that is born with the knowledge and love for the homeland and that,
impregnated in our soul, it pushes us to defend it anywhere in the
what we find ourselves, to feelidentified with the customs and the
history of our nation, with its values and culture.

3.2 CULTURAL IDENTITY
The concept of cultural identity encompasses a sense of belonging to
a social group with which cultural traits are shared, such as
customs, values, and beliefs.
The concept of cultural identity encompasses a sense of belonging to a
social group with which cultural traits are shared, such as customs,
values and beliefs. According to anthropological and sociological studies,
Identity arises through differentiation and as a reaffirmation against the other.
Although the concept of identity transcends borders (as in the case
of the emigrants), the origin of this concept is often found
linked to a territory.
The cultural identity of a people is historically defined through
of multiple aspects in which their culture is reflected, such as the language,
instrument of communication among the members of a community, the
social relationships, own rites and ceremonies, or behaviors
collectives, that is, the systems of values and beliefs (...) A distinctive feature
of these elements of cultural identity is their immaterial character and
anonymous, since they are a product of the community” (González Varas, 2000:
43p).
3.3 PERSONAL IDENTITY

The acquisition of Personal Identity is a process that begins

with the conquest of a territory: intimacy. The first seed from the
that building identity arises from belonging to the origin of it, where it is
the recognition of two aspects of the person; the validation of
that which represents an individual difference, and the permission for the
emergence of one's own desire.

This constructive process of identity, which continues during the

adolescent period is based on the particularities it brings

that transmits the culture in which each one had to live. This whole journey
it enables the creation of a personalized life narrative that is developed
in the cooking of the feelings that each person endures in the face of the
paradox in which every individual is situated: the need to resemble others
others to be accepted and the need to be different.

3.4 RELIGIOUS IDENTITY

Religious identity, like any other identity, is one that
define our moral horizons. It can even be said that the religious
is not necessarily exclusive to a single identity and that, generally, the

religion will occupy only a more or less prominent place, depending on
be the case, in the identity of each person.
The specifically religious, while extremely complex to
defining and delimiting, in general terms, is a phenomenon according to which
certain individuals or communities of people believe in the existence of a
to be superior or in some way of transcendence. Religion is the relationship
with the divine, and the divine means a transcendent reality to this world.
religion constitutes a set of beliefs and motivations, frameworks of
reference, moral norms and criteria of action that a subject assumes with
the purpose of responding to a set of mysteries and concerns that it
have existentially marked
In this way, religion also offers the individual who is assumed
religious a series of beliefs that provide it with a moral horizon
determined, that is to say, they endow it with an identity.

3.5 THE INTELLECTUAL IDENTITY

Intellectual identity refers to the creations of the mind:
inventions, literary and artistic works, as well as symbols, names and
images used in commerce.
Intellectual property is divided into two categories:
Industrial property, which includes invention patents,
trademarks, industrial designs, and geographical indications.
Copyright, which includes literary works such as novels,
poems and plays, movies, musical works, artistic works,
such as drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures, and designs
architectural.
Therefore, they resemble any other property right.
that allow the creator or the owner of a patent, trademark or right to
author, benefit from their work or investment. These rights are listed in the
Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, where
establishes the right to benefit from the protection of interests
morals and materials resulting from the authorship of all scientific production,
literary or artistic.
3.6 VOCATIONAL IDENTITY
We see then that the election process is continuous, it is not about
an isolated decision but a series of decisions linked to one's own history
and based on which the vocational identity is constructed.

with those before and those that will come (even much further ahead in the
life, throughout the entire professional or work career). However, it is

responding to the personal characteristics of each individual and to the pressure
exercised by various external circumstances.

 Teenagers often know their interests but not their

the evolution of vocational identity is directly linked to the image
of oneself, and therefore to the construction of personal identity. The
identity refers to the consistency that characterizes an individual to
despite the changes that occur over time, as one progresses
through successive vital stages; it is the recognition of our unrepeatable
singularity. The task of the adolescent will be arduous due to the intense changes
that crosses: abandons his child body, loses his identity as a child and his
safety, changes the dependency relationship with their parents, changes their
link with other authority figures, society demands that he/she assumes
new roles... The adolescent will not only ask themselves who am I?
Who will I be? And who am I to others? The social dimension of the
personal and vocational identity evident: one wishes to be an engineer or
singer "in the style" of someone. The vocational-occupational identity arises from
self-perception over time in terms of occupational roles:
It is the answer to why and for what an occupational role is chosen. This
identity is based on childhood identifications integrated with others
new: with ideal figures, with teachers, with friends and companions, and
even with groups (social, religious, political, etc.).
3.7 IDENTIDAD SEXUAL
Sexual identity is an internal and also intimate experience. That is to say,
Each person is free to decide with whom they share or do not share their tendency.
sexual. The truth is that there are different types of sexual identities, which
which shows that there are also different ways of understanding love.
Sexual identity is a concept that refers to the way in which the
an individual identifies as man or woman from the perspective of
gender and also refers to the sexual orientation that person has.
Furthermore, an individual's personal identity and their sexual orientation are
very intimate, therefore, the human being develops according to some
concrete parameters based on internal acceptance. A human being
they are discovering themselves. Sexual identity refers to preference
an individual's sexuality, their way of feeling and their sexual attitudes.
This is the sum of different planes such as: Biological, environmental and
psychological. In general, it is during the stage of adolescence that the
young people begin to know themselves from a more

majority (with the consequent fear of rejection).
3.8 GENDER IDENTITY
Gender identity is how a person identifies, if as
man or like a woman, the way one recognizes oneself, based on their
behavior and their way of being and thinking about the gender they identify with
the person identified, all of this goes regardless of their sex, orientation

sexual, age, socio-economic level, etc., this means that all of the
we have a gender identity
3.9 POLITICAL IDENTITY
As has been attempted to demonstrate, one of the crucial aspects of the
democratic construction processes are precisely related to the
capacity to sufficiently root the principles, values, and elements
necessary information for the citizens, their representatives and their
authorities, make politics a transformative activity, but to the
propositive, competitive, but at the same time peaceful and tolerant; innovative,
but respectful of the rule of law.
This implies the existence of a cultural sediment capable of fostering
identities and forms of social relationship is what radicalism will pave the way for
to reason and the pursuit of self-interest does not ignore perspective
from the global community

Only this premise would ensure that the incessant competition, discussion
and negotiation between projects and organizations would take place peacefully,
ordered and with positive results.
As posed, the democratic order implies a pact on the type of
desirable social and political coexistence that does not close off differences and the
conflicts of interest, but ensures that they are resolved without putting
at risk the essential rights and guarantees and without damaging the fabric
institutional of the country.

3.10 RELATIONAL IDENTITY

When experts in child psychology and education refer to the
construction of personal identity, they usually make a note or announce
which will later show a more social dimension of the construction of the
personality, called 'Relational Identity', which is nothing other than
the image that people establish of themselves in relation to the
others that surround it, with its social environment.

Undoubtedly, proper coexistence with others allows

to gain confidence in ourselves, to the extent that we are
recognized by the social environment and accepted in the multiple groups to which
that we belong to, we can develop a sense of belonging that
it powers our personal and social identity. That will manifest in
through multiple expressions of feelings and emotions that are
they will channel through games, words, gestures, artistic expressions, etc.
3.11 IDENTITY OF INTEREST
It is argued that the use of the concept of 'identity' for understanding
social action is only possible if it undergoes a double reduction: by
On one side, the social identity of individuals is reducible to mere
identification with interests and preferences; on the other hand, with norms and values.

identity, common in sociology, of type X does M because it is Y. In the

3.13 GLOBAL IDENTITY
When global identity design refers to the use of a
common graphic identity in all countries where a product is marketed
product. Both in terms of its packaging appearance and the use of its
advertising, and taking care from its conception that said packaging design,
name (meaning of the name), and its advertising management should not conflict
with the values and beliefs of the population of none of the countries where
is marketed.
This approach has several advantages, as it employs an identity of

 4. CONCLUSION
It is deduced that IDENTITY is a set of personal attributes.
which is the reactive part of the person in the attitudes of others. It is, for
putting it in some way, the truly original part that the person contributes through
of his responses, in his interaction with others. These attitudes he takes
before others are the novel element, the contribution of the person. The 'I',
gives a sense of independence, of decision.

That is why, from his personal world, he discovers himself as different, indivisible.

dimension cannot consider the subject socially identified, because the
it depends on the recognition of primary groups or belonging,
that attribute characteristics to it, that configure it. Identity would not be more than it

subjective side of culture considered from the angle of its distinctive function.

Finally, the formation of identity is realized only based on the

interaction with the external environment, since in a situation of isolation, the
characteristics individuals resulting absolutely irrelevant y
