"Our identity has already been chosen for us; but it is up to us if we want to accept it, or fight and change it." by Afnan Ahmad. In modern society- by which we mean not 'society today' but 'society where modernity id well developed' - self- identity becomes and inescapable issue. Although, we define ourselves by the groups we belong to, we also define ourselves by comparison and contrast with others. The size of gaps also matters. For example: if we have a lot more that we feel superior and motivates other to complete with it. However, excess of sense of competition, jealousy or superiority in order to develop their own self dominating identity can lead to unpredicted and ruthless consequences. Regardless of these results, individuality and distinctiveness is something that leads to the advancement and progress of the society and helps in maintaining stability. As a matter of fact, perfection is impossible to achieve. Our society accepts the individuality and allows everyone
to show their own creativity but what creates difference among its people is that we are somewhere backing off in unity among the citizens which is still developing.
