Issue113(Second Edition)
“It is primarily through our identification with social groups that we define ourselves.”
How we conceptualize and evaluate ourselves is not only guided by personal charasristics,more frequently,it is also oriented by people’s features which shared with others.Social identity is only one kind of self-definition,however,for making a definition
Of the person,social factors,especially social groups,are the necessary pass ways.
As Aristotle said “People are social animals”,it is no doubt to say that most people live
In an environment which has been built both by nature and humanities.Since the earlist time when human beings appear,there was a trend to communicate with others,To be understood is just like an instinct of each spicie. To define one’s self through its identification with social groups is comprehensively accepted by most contempotary
People.For instance,when two people first met in a birthday party which held by their friend.The most effetive way to introduce each other is to show each one’s self-definition.What’s more,the definition which included the basic informations about which social group does each person belong to would be more popular with others.
Psychologically speaking,using this method to “know”a person is an effective way to saving energy if there is a need for thinking.
Another social factor that strongly influenced the process of definiting is that”By putting oneself into a ceatain group,one can feel safe and expirience less anxiety.For example,shops for sailing memos for turists in some Asian countries will have less possibility to ask for unreasonable prices for things if they found the prospective cosumer
Manipulated the Local Dialect.
By using this method to make definition,one could get a lot of benefits,such like safty ,comformoty and self-esteem.However ,as a matter of fact,people do not stick to only one group at different places and time. Sometimes it is hinged by interpersonal relations,sometimes it is followed the law of ascribed characristics.
Nonetheless,we are not allowed to make a conclusion just regardless of personal traits.In some cases,a person cannot catagoried into a group,because she or he is too eccentic or weird.If we use the method in the statemate relactantly,the result won’t be precise enough for us to appreciate.
During the modern time,the pace of life became faster and faster.The explosion of information is no longer a horrible lengend.Whether some people are sociable or not ,they will face the circumstances to get in touch with others.For looking for a job,an applicant should submit a resume(which probably contained the brief or general definition),for making new friends ,one should use a precise and active tone to introduce themselves or the new friends to each other.If this introduction used the method ,although unvoidblely faced steoretype problem,still each side could benefited from doing that.
From a pragmatic perspective, it is suggested to define oneself through their identification with social groups.In the reality,the situation is primarily alreading like this.But,nearly everyone konws .we can not find two persons absolutely the same,even for homoegg twins.Then to make the self-definition more pricise and unique,indivisual definition method which totally desert the “social aspects”we should consider more specific personal traits instead of just staring a person in a group,which can not be seen as clear as be set up respectively.(End) 511 words |
