Identity.

What is identity? This is perhaps one of the most complex questions I have yet to be asked. It is said, culture, and choice selections shape ones identity. I cannot say I disagree, but I believe many things factor into making up ones identity. First off, there are the mother, and the father genes. Both of these parents' characteristics make the offspring its own person with its proper make up. Appearance has a lot to do with identity. The way one carries themselves, and dresses plays an important role in what is a persons identity. Culture differentiates many from others. If everyone were the same, the purpose of an identity would be lost. Furthermore, an identity can be malleable. According to ones environment, behaviors, experiences, and conditions, an identity can change. Sometimes it is for the better, and other times, the identity becomes lifeless. All in all, identity is made up by a variety of factors. Each one is different, with its own distinctive feature. This is why, I believe all living organisms are so different, even within their own surroundings and amongst there very own kind.
