Re: Collective identity and the need to belong [Re: ]
    #1675366 - 06/30/03 09:52 PM (20 years, 6 months ago)

People identify themselves in several ways but I'd say the most common are racially, sexually, politically, and geographically.

I think this is quite simple: people choose to divide themselves through the above four methods because they are fearful of things different from them, be it looks, idealogies, or body parts. Fear breeds ignorance, insecurity, and a need to feel comforted from these feelings. Hence people almost automatically group themselves according to their belief systems to form their personal identity which will bring them safety, comfort, and a feeling of belongness.
