Identity is always produced in the case of social interaction which leads to arbitrary categorization to recognize others. Identity is not a solitary process it is fluid and always changing. Nature vs. nurture: nature- inspired by charles darwin (theory of evolution); - the belief that behaviors including intelligence are biologically based, This notion is always referred to in racism, it is the us vs. we. People would say that it is in their (cid:494)blood/genes(cid:495: nurture- margaret mead(cid:495)s research debunked that theory. Identities and not biologically based but are learned and cultivated through socialization, Identity is always produced in the course of interaction.
