Document Summary
Identities can simply be performances and if you really want to know ones identity look at what the person has done (actions speak louder than words) We live in a society that seems to be going after two contradictory things at a time. Liberalism (individuality) democracy (a mechanism, 50% are ruled by the majority) The individual is lost in democracy, unless it happens to be part of the majority. Democracy is ruled by the people (citizens) decisions are made by those who have been socialized and are members of the culture. Multiculturalism in a liberal democracy, there are many and there are one. You have to imagine that all the differences can be made in to one. Out of many one-where everyone is a minority; or where there is no majority of dominant group. Socialization is even about what you think you know.
