In our lives, we often identify with many different groups (see box below). This is our social identity, which can also be a result of cultural norms and socialisation. Think about your own social identity and the groups to which you belong. What role have other people had in shaping your identity(ies)? (I believe I have multiple personalities). What are some academic theories regarding social identity? What do academic sources about social identity say about the groups you have chosen? Discuss how the information in the academic sources supports your own experience of being a member of a particular group or groups.
