What is your "identity?"
This thread stems off a point I made in the thread on immigration ("Letter to the Editor") regarding identity. It brought up the question for me of what identity actually means to people, including the role of nationality. So I thought I would ask here:
How would you answer the question, "What are you?" or, "What do you identify as?"
What are the symbols that mean something to you? Is your language or flag something you define yourself with?
How about religion? Gender? Sexuality? Being human?
What is at the core of your SELF, the core of what forms your worldview, the stuff that means the most to who you are?
