looks and expressions that make a person.
Definition of identity, its history, and types
Identity formation is “a process of simultaneous
reflection and observation” which is in a constant
change and development.
“It starts somewhere during the first “real
meeting” of a mother and child- two people who
cognize each other by means of a touch and does
not end until an individual stops recognizing other
people.

to us. These disciplines show how have family
raised us and how they mold their children

Social identity is a person’s notion of who he or

she is in society. This includes the roles and
statuses that he or she performs in accord with
what society expects of him or her.
There are two primary types of identity that an
individual takes on: primary and secondary.
Primary identity
There are two primary types of identity that an

individual’s takes on: primary and secondary.
Primary identity consists of the roles and statutes
that an individual learns as a child. This includes
the core social identities that are often ascribed to
an individual such as sex, age, and ethnicity.
As a child gets enculturated and socialized with
his or her society’s norm, he or she participates in
the construction of his or her secondary identity.
This includes roles and statuses that are achieved
such as occupation, educational background,
economic status, and gender.
This duality of identity produces the “me” and “I”
dichotomy that humans have.
This model presents a fourfold understanding of

human identity, which is categorized as follows:
The existential “I”, the doing “me”. The cultural
“I”, and the performing “me”. These categories
promote a holonic concepts of the self--- the self
is both a whole and a part.
The self in the context of the personal pertains to
the wholeness of the individual’s identity. This
leads back to the uniqueness of every individual.
The self in the context of it being a part of a
whole reflects on the ascribed roles that it plays
within the context of society,
NORMS AND VALUES
Norms
Shared rules of conduct
- These are generally accepted rules that
govern what we should or should not do in a
particular situation.
- Norms are culturally determined rules that
guide people regarding what is right and
wrong, proper, or improper
Values – Expression of ultimate ends, goals or
purposes of social action. They are society’s
moral imperatives
That deals what ought to be.
A thing has value when it is perceived as good
and desirable. (DECS)
Value may be terminal (end state) or instrumental
(mode behavior)
Are socially shared ideas about what is good and
bad, right or wrong, desirable and undesirable.
1. Four Categories of Norms
 Folkways- are socially approved
behaviors that
have no moral underpinning. Commonly
known as
customs, traditions, and conventions.
 Mores- are the norms related to moral
conventions.
Special folkways which are important to the
welfare of the people and their
cherished values
Rules of conduct that are associated with
intense feelings of right and wrong.
2. Taboos- are behaviors that are absolutely
forbidden in a specific culture.
3. Laws- consists of the rules and regulations

that are implemented by the state making
them the prime source of social control.
 Formalized norms enacted by people who
are vested by political-legal authorities
designated by the government.
4. Status and Roles
5. Status is an individual position in his or her
society, which carries with it a set of defined
rights and obligations.
6. Roles are the set of expectations from
people who occupy a particular status.
7. The behavior of an individual within a social
space in accordance with his or her status is
called role performance.
Two types of Status
 Ascribed status- is a social position of a
person given at birth, or assigned later in
life.
 Some examples of ascribed status include
age, sex, ethnicity, and membership in a
family, among others.
Achieved status
 Achieved – acquired willfully and
consciously through effort, talent, decisions,
and accomplishments.
- Some examples of achieved status include
being someone’s girlfriend or boyfriend,
being the top student in one’s class, and
being a black belter in karate.
Sometimes, a status has multiple roles attached
to it. This multiplicity of roles within a given
status is called a role set.
Role conflict- stems from divergent
expectations of the statuses that an individual
simultaneously occupies. Such conflicts may
create role strain on the individual.
Role exit is the process of discontinuing a role
is labeled as role exit.
Assignment:
How does socialization affect the
creation of one’s identity?
Individuals gain confidence as a
result of socialization. The more
people we talk to, the more topics we
discuss, and thus our scope broadens.
Socialization readies people to join a
social group by teaching them the
norms and expectations of that group.
The primary goals of socialization are
to teach impulse control and develop
a conscience, to prepare people to
perform certain social roles, and to
cultivate shared sources of meaning
and value.

Question: What do you think? Is it
possible for a person to gain
knowlegde and experiences without
interacting with other members of
society? Explain your answer.
Answer:
No, you cannot acquire experience,
but i believe you can acquire
knowlegde on your own. One of the
greates ways to learn is through
interactiob with other people. In order
to obtain knowlegde, you must obtain
experience first. Because experience
could be a source of knowlegde.
Isolating yourself prevents you from
gaining experience. Knowlege can be
taught, experience cannot

because we are human; they are not
authorised by any government. We all have
these universal rights, no matter our
nationality, gender, national or ethnic origin,
color, religion, language, or any other status.

Human rights are required to protect and
defend each individual's humanity,
and assure that each individual can live a life
of dignity and value as a human being.

At the very young age we should know our
rights because it protects our dignity,
humanity, and our life. No one should be
treated differently because of their race,
gender, age, skin color, or even nationality.
We are all equal in God’s eyes.
