National Identity: Argumentative Text
Introduction
In this argumentative text we will announce the meaning of the identity according to Amartya Sen and Jorge Larrain the different contexts in which we can form personal identity according to moorletya sen the social identity is a plural and not unique word chosen more non -successor and in harmony with otheridentities.
Identities refer to the term of capacities is an aspect of choosing, some identities are constructed and reinforced, but some are also weakened in the workplace. This text indicates and insists on the need to reflect on the existing union Responsibility Freedom and identity, identity without freedom is made of chimera, but the presence of freedom and identity without responsibility is also impossible.
Because identity with option is chosen and that implies an action needs both individual responsibility and responsibility for others enabling substantive opportunities to make them effective. It also talks about the aspects that happen in three problems as the first problem speaks of plural identity, it states that a person belongs to many groups and that neglecting our plural identity in favor of a main identity can impoverish our life and our practical sense The second problem isThe choice of identity says that given the diverse identifications that we can choose.
The real identities to which we give priority are something that we choose and with respect to how others see us, it is unlimited. Finally, the third problem beyond identity develops that we cannot experience empathy for the joys and miseries of others if we do not see them as a kind of extension of ourselves.
In empathy for the others there are two different uses of identity, the first use is epistemological where one is placed in the place of others and from there tries to find out that they feel and see (mandatory) and in another ethical use theothers as if they were equal to one and may well be mandatory. It is necessary to recognize not only that identities can be plural and that the priorities we give to our diverse identities is something that only we choose but also moral and political integration exceeds the scope of identity.
Developing
Identity and very:
A first meaning of identity is found in scholastic and aristotelian metaphysical traditions that conceived it as one of the fundamental principles of being and as a logical law of thought. Every being is identical with himself and, therefore, one thing cannot be and not at the same time. As owned by all beings, identity does not necessarily depend on a particular being capable of reflection or not. A table is identical to itself in the same way as a human being, although the table is not aware of it.
A more appropriate meaning of identity neglects individual and a set of qualities with which a person or group of people are intimately connected. In this sense, identity has to do with the way in which individuals and groups define themselves by wanting to relate – "identify." With certain characteristics.
When exploring this concept of qualitative identity … the subjective nature of the qualities that constitute the identity and the fact that they can change. Qualitative identity answers the question about what each one would like to be. As much as the analysis of qualitative identity is suggestive and useful, it neglects to highlight its social character.
The three component elements of identity.
- If identity is not an innate essence, but a social construction process, it is necessaryCertain shared social categories … Religion, gender, class, ethnicity, profession, sexuality, nationality, which are culturally determined and contribute to specify the subject and their sense of identity. In this sense, it can be said that culture is one of the determinants of personal identity. … This is how the idea of cultural identities arises. Each of these shared categories is a cultural identity.
- Second. There is the material element … that includes the body and other possessions capable of delivering vital elements of author recognition … thus objects can influence human personality … through this material aspect identity can be related to consumption and industriestraditional and local … material things belong or give sense of belonging in a desired community. In my opinion, the author did not consider some aspects related to the body, such as skin color, facial features, size, height, etc. who can make felt belonging to a group.
- Third, the subject is defined in terms of how others see it. However, only the evaluations of those others that are somehow significant for the subject truly tell the construction and maintenance of their self-image. In this sense, it could be said that identities come from outside to the extent that they are the way others recognize us, but they come from within to the extent that our author recognition is a function of the recognition of the others that we have internalized. In other words, identity construction is an intersubjective process of mutual recognition.
Personal and collective identities.
Personal and collective identities are interrelated and are needed reciprocally. This is because people cannot be considered as isolated and opposed entities to a social world conceived as an external reality. Hence, collective identity is the environment and result of the individual identities to which it recursively organizes.
Identity and globalization
Globalization refers to the intensification of universal social relations that unite to different locations, so that what happens in a town is affected by events that occur very far and vice versa. Covers a multiplicity of other social and cultural dimensions. The phenomenon of cultural globalization is especially relevant to identity. If globalization has a very important cultural dimension, it is partly due to the mediatization of modern culture. The global does not replace the local, but the local operates within the logic of the global.
conclusion
This close relationship should not hide, however, the differences between these two forms of identity. … we must avoid transposing the psychological elements of personal identities to cultural identities. A collective identity has no psychic or character structure in the sense of a defined number of psychological features. … It is an anthologize error for a group, which are individual psychological features.
In itself, a collective identity is purely a cultural artifact … as in the case of the nation … what is said of the nation is also applicable to other cultural identities such as sexuality, ethnicity, social class, gender, etc. … Each cultural identity demands a different amount of commitment of each individual member … and this can change historically. Cultural identities are not static. Therefore, collective identities begin historically, they develop and can decline or disappear.
