Identity lecture

On this lecture we talked about what identity means. We started class by watching certain scenes from the movie avatar, which is a perfect movie to show if you want to talk about one's identity. Before this lecture I always had a basic definition of what identity is, which at the time meant, things that I do which defines me as well as makes me unique. This definition changed after Glenn's explanations as well as examples of some people, creating a sim online that she believed it was her. Identity to me isn't just things that makes us who we are on the outside, such as habits and what we do, but also what the person thinks of themselves in the inside. Identity is something that everyone has, it is the belief of what that the person thinks he or she is, it may be true or it can also be false, both are considered to be identifications and both are just as real.
