    Major Paper 1: Personal Essay on Language and Identity Language partially defines identity‚ it only defines identity to a certain degree‚ one’s actions and life choices could also define identity to some extent.

I think what really makes my claim arguable is the fact that I chose the middle ground‚ language may define us but not to a full extent

    • 3 Pages

    Our perception of our identity is constantly changing‚ the groups we belong to‚ the people we talk to and the way we connect with others help to form our identity. There is one thing we all have in common despite our individual identities‚ is the need to belong. There’s no obligation to belong to only one group‚ you can belong to many. An individual can belong to many groups‚ which will then create multiple identities; hence our understanding of identity is never constant. Belonging to a loving family
