Identity
Working Definition:
Identity is who we are, the way we think about ourselves, the way we are viewed by the world and the characteristics that define us. Cultural identity is the identity or feeling of belonging to a group. It is part of a person's self-conception and self-perception and is related to nationality, ethnicity, religion, social class, generation, locality, orientation, ability or any kind of social group that has its own distinct culture.
