Social Identity Paper

Intro

This chapter is about how our identity influences the communication we will use in an interaction

In the U.S we communicate in a very identity based climate.

I. what is identity you may ask

Personality Theory came up in the mid 1990's. It explains that people see their personalities different depending on time and space.

In psychology, sociology, and anthropology, identity is a person's conception and expression of their own (self-identity) and others' individuality or group affiliations (such as national identity and cultural identity).

II. Today I'm going to be talking about self identity and social identity.

some of the things that our identities provide

are a hierarchy of structure of who we are - which means the types

of classes into which we belong Lower middle or upper class.
shaped through interaction and feedback from other people- which means what we receive from other people
Helps us interpret feedback from others- which means the interpretation of other comments
Incorporate expectation and guide behaviors- what are the expectations
influence our evaluation and expectations- how is this relationship going to work out what do we expect from it.
determine the likelihood of goals achievement influence the social relationships we will pursue or maintain- what are we trying to achieve in the relationship.
III. Identity management theory affects each and every one of us every day. The way that we manage our identity changes in each situation that we face.
The external world of our society plays a huge role in defining our self identity.
our self identity is a process that is always changing. This is because of whats around us. Everything around us changes constantly. Which changes us and our ways of being. Our thinking also changes as we get older and see new things differently. I don't have at the same identity i had when i was 15 years old. I grew up and now have different mentality. Different beliefs and different people in my life. I didn't always have the identity i have today.
But we also have to take a moment to think about the self conception you have about yourself?
IV. think about your personal skills and abilities and how they shape how you view who you are
these are all traits that form your unique self.
Take a moment to think about when someone asks who are you?
some people might go to describe a job they work at nationality, religious beliefs, or group affiliations
or simply
name, age, height and weigh or other physical descriptors (study).
IVV. But how about what you think your morals and values can be known by anyone else but you.
What we values is the most interest is the thing that makes our own way of life in general.

They go to the very center of us, to our own identity. Our standards are maybe the most critical thing as, regardless of whether we experience our fantasy or accomplish our central goal, they are well on the way to stay in place. Qualities are an establishment and a plumb line and in addition an moral compass

Now lets take a look at another facet that takes part of our lives as well which is social identity

I. Whats social identity

Social personality identifies with how we distinguish ourselves in connection to others as indicated by what we have in like common. Social character can provide individuals with a feeling of self-regard and a system for socializing, and it can impact their conduct. To make it more straightforward is a hypothesis that expresses that the basic demonstration of being grouped will definitely lead to preference against another group.

II. Why learn about social identity?

as stated above its something thats in the facet of our everyday life. Applying Social Identity theory can be applied to a multitude of scenarios?

III. There are three steps into social Identity which

are
Social Categorization
Social Identification.
Social Comparison

Categorization- This is the point at which we classify individuals keeping in mind the end goal to understand and recognize them. A few cases of social classifications incorporate dark, white, teacher, understudy, Republican, and Democrat. By comprehending what classifications we have a place with, we can comprehend things about ourselves, and we can characterize proper conduct as indicated by the gatherings that we and others have a place with. An individual can have a place with a few gatherings in the meantime.

Social Identification. We adopt the identity of the group that we belong to, and we act in ways that we perceive members of that group act. For example, if you identify as a Democrat, you will most likely behave within the norms of that group. As a consequence of your identification with that group, you will develop emotional significance to that identification, and your self-esteem will be dependent on it.
We receive the personality of a group that we have a place with, and we act in ways that we see individuals from that group act. For instance, on the off chance that you recognize as a Democrat, you will undoubtedly carry on inside how they should behave and act.

Social Comparison.After we classify ourselves inside a group and identify ourselves as being individuals from that group, we tend to look at our group (the ingroup) against another group (an outgroup). To keep up your self-regard, you and your gathering individuals will think about your gathering positively against different ones. This clarifies bias and separation, since a groups will tend to view individuals from contending bunches contrarily to build self-esteem.

III.whats and in-group
Is a social group to which a man mentally recognizes being a emember. The in-group choose which phase of social personality hypothesis best portrays every situation. It could be the three that I said above which are social categorization, social ID or social comparison.

Outgroup
is a social group with which an individual does not identify. For instance, individuals may discover it mentally significant to view themselves as indicated by their race, culture, sexual orientation, age or religion.

IV. the strengths
about this theory is that it successfully explains real world behaviors
useful application if groups boundaries can cause discrimination and prejudice then creating one big inclusive in group can help these issues.

IVV. Weaknesses
Creating bigger groups to tackle prejudice is not always the answer because it is a slow process.

Summary
Overall Identity theory and Social Identity is something that we don't realize we apply everyday and we do so its important to be aware and be able to comprehend these two theory as explained.

Identity management theory affects each and every one of us every day. The way that we manage our identity changes in each situation that we face. In addition, it is important to recognize the feature of characterization of social identities: the ways in which one's identity involves a crossing of different grounds of identity and affinity. Innovative efforts to provide fresh approaches to the study of social identities are emerging in several fields. Us Humans express a sense of identity through verbal and nonverbal means, including language, clothing and social status. Some historians believe that animals also have senses of identity. Identity has a strong biological origin and plays an important role in helping animals survive. Animals vulnerable to predators identify with other like animals in a group or herd. This identity affords animals protection from group members, and allows them to form relationships and breed with like animals. Although some identity has biological origins, identity also exists as a learned behavior. People living in tribes, for instance, learn the specific clothing styles and even normal behaviors of those tribes as they grow

up.

What I learned 
What I learned from the Identities chapters is that the external world of our society plays a huge role in defining our self identity. Social identity relates to how we identify ourselves in relation to others according to what we have in common.
