Year: 2006
Type: article
Abstract: Who are you? What makes you so? These superficially simplistic questions pertain to the question of identity. Sociological understanding of this term suggests that our identities are socially constructed; that is, that they are both learned from and negotiated during our interactions with others. In view of this, it can be said that the family, initially at least, is the principal cultivator of one’s cultural identity.
