In S.E. Hinton’s story, The Outsiders, group identity is so important that sometimes people overshadow their own identity. In our generation it is kind of the same way to some people, for instance people sometimes act and dress differently around the popular kids to fit in. While at home they do their normal routine and stay true to themselves. This is so important to the story for many reasons. It is also really important to kids this age in 2017.

Essay 1 In “There is No Unmarked Women”, Deborah Tannen explains how women are forcibly “marked” no matter what. During a small work conference, Tannen observes many women’s appearance.

“Whenever two people meet, there are six people present. There is each man as he sees himself, each man as the other person sees him, and each man as he is.”- Willam James. In the novel, The Outsiders, the author S.E Hinton, was able to present the theme of identity by using her characters and opposing social classes. However, identity is a foremost substance to the human eye.

Society is an important contributor to a persons upbringing and how they interact with the rest of society. In the case of Emily and Krebs the community that they inhibit shares some of the fault as to there introvert personalities. In a society where an individual is made the outcast and is not accepted creates an influence on that person’s personality. However, when a society is too lenient with an individual or a group of individuals, which can also alter the persons personality. Emily Gierson, the protagonist of “A Rose for Emily,” by William Faulkner is a prime example of the effect a passive community can have on a person.

These identities are one of the biggest challenges people in our society face in their lives. They not only affect ones social life but also their daily interactions. I will also discuss two examples that support this statement, one of them being from the reading of “The complexity of identity” by Daniel Tatum. Now a days, dominant and subordinate identities are two very different identities, who play a very important part in our everyday lives.

David Berreby touches on man-kind’s need for a sense of belonging in “It Takes a Tribe”. More specifically, he takes on the sense of belonging that people invent at college. This need for association, no matter how trivial it may seem, has a large effect on the subconscious. Berreby argues that once an individual realizes that they have been placed in a union, they segregate themselves unknowingly against those not in the union. Berreby concludes that while people may not be passionate about all the groups they are placed in, the groups they identify with stay with them for life.

People need authentic human interaction to be truly happy. This claim is supported by the novel, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the film, Pleasantville directed by Gary Ross, and the article, Why Loneliness Is Bad for Your Health by Nancy Shute. In Fahrenheit 451, people need authentic human interaction to be truly happy. This is supported with Montag and Mildred’s relationship and how Mildred says the parlor walls are “really fun” (18), but she still tried to commit suicide.

Compare/Contrast Essay In the two stories “Popular Mechanics,” and,”The Lamb to the Slaughter,” they both deal with deaths of family members. The couples in both didn't talk to one each other.

Introduction Social identification is a very important source of both one’s pride and self-esteem. Because groups give us a sense of social identity and belongingness to the social world, intergroup relations have a huge impact on the actions we engage ourselves in. “We are not born with senses of self. Rather, self arises from interaction with others” (Griffin, 2012). In this paper I will first give a summary of Tajfel and Turner’s Social Identity Theory.
