our identity, where is it??


A question mark
always being interested part of human being. if it correlated by another question --> Identity ..., what is your opinion?


Identity, what is identity? According to Samuel Huntington on his Clash of Civilization , (frankly I'm only read a little part of it, not finished yet ;) it is one of most fundamental question maong people. Whenever the're coming from. Because of identity, people can decided a thing and determine what they wanna do. so, if I correlated it with a choice, it will be have more complex relationship. Further, identity can shape a group, people, entity, nation or any level we used to view. Identity tied with history, norm, view and human being itself...Furthermore. it make we realize our is different than them. This our vs. them's feeling is sometimes created big problem, whom even able to threatened a state's security..but if it can manage well, identity which blend together with culture can build extremely potential power. Like asset in economy, identity can be explored, improved, shaped, anything...as well as we want and able, it always possible.

Identity determine, or at least help us explain yet understanding why people or group do something. And it can be expressed toward many ways, music, poems, political views, paint or even just a symbol. So, where is our identity know? As a scholar, as a college student, as a part of society, as a part of this nation, and as a part of international society?
