This is the ultimate question of life. “What makes you, you?” could probably be the scariest question we could ask you. One that could potentially give us a headache or panic. With over 7 billion people on this earth, no two people are exactly alike. Different eye color, different DNA, different facial features, everything is different. However, is eye color or DNA one of the questions we always ask ourselves? We don't answer the question of what defines our identity by reviewing our different physical characteristics, which are the last things we care about, but rather we challenge ourselves to understand ourselves by being different. But how did we get there? It's really simple; the answer to our question about what goes into developing our identity is one word: socialization. If you are raised a certain way, you are subjected to that lifestyle. In his article Existentialism, Sartre defines identity as follows: “Man is nothing other than what he makes himself” (Sartre 349). This means that it believes that our identity is what you decide to be and nothing else. You can choose who you are and where you go. However, according to Sartre, what Sartre doesn't know is that life always happens according to "God's plan", we just don't know until we get there. Yes, that’s true. However, God knows the things we are going to do before we do them, He knows we are going to take that sip of alcohol, He knows we are going to tell that little lie to keep us from doing something we are not doing. what he wants to do, he knows all this in advance. That’s why He has a “plan” for us as we move toward each decision we make. And that man is "nothing other than what he himself does, makes man believe... middle of paper... find this love in the same way that we have been raised. Our parents are the best example of who we end up being and we often find ourselves liking the same type of person. This is why socialization is the aspect of finding our true love and identity. We construct a personality or identity by absorbing our interactions and experiences into a continuous life journey. Gender, race, love, family are just some of the many aspects that make you who you are. We often ask this question and in reality, the answer is right in front of us. Our family and parents help us grow into young people looking for the next step in our future. Gender determines how we go about our daily activities. And finally, love brings us closer to an individual who will help us discover our true identity. Ultimately, making socialization the answer to the scariest question we ask.
