Identity

        There are three assumptions given in this reading about your identity. I believe that your identity is  what you're born with, but only when you're younger. You are born with a name, and who your parents are. Those two things are what make you, but as you grow older your identity becomes more of a personal choice. The older a person becomes the more they can make their own decisions, and basically create themselves by these decisions. When you are younger your parents basically control your identity to an extent. A lot of your identity is shaped by culture. I believe this assumption is true for your whole life, and it doesn't matter what age you are. The people you surround yourself with can change how you act, dress, and even speak. Also, different families have different cultures, and a persons identity can be shaped by these different cultures. All in all, these three assumptions all have a sort of truth to them.
