Cultural Proximity and Identity

In every individual's life, people are seeking refuge from their colleague's judgment. Therefore, many people are secretly living. For them, confidentiality obligations are necessary to avoid unwelcome censorship and maintain public health. For gender and its representation, lines are often blurred. Some people hide, but others publicly show a substitution to their sexual role openly in George Seansey's homosexual New York "Haven and Specter Bowery" Bowery's " Let 's explore the emergence of fairy bars and how they become evacuation centers in New York' s gay and working class.

If two or more cultures coexist in close proximity, problems will occur in the same country. Who do and who decides the cultural identity? A person can belong to a specific country sharing a different culture while maintaining a person's cultural identity. Then you can belong to more than one culture at the same time. Interestingly, Vroom (1996: 121) believes that cultural exchanges are more common than maintaining cultural identity. There is a possibility of conflict in the struggle for adaptation and avoidance to different cultures. Goodenough (1957: 167) defines culture as a process. "Society's culture includes what people have to know or believe in order to operate in a way that people are acceptable." According to this definition, imprinting is strictly excluded. He can accept that person only when he knows in a way familiar, and believes in the community and acts. Some of the knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors is the structure of meaning accepted by the community (Geertz 1973: 12).

There seems to be a different view on cultural identity and social identity. Cultural identity is defined as the identity of a group or culture or individual as long as it is influenced by belonging to a group or culture. In addition, cultural identity is similar to identity politics and overlaps. A new form of identification has been proposed that breaks down the understanding of the entire body as an individual into a collection of different cultural identifiers. These identifiers arise from various conditions such as location, gender, race, history, nationality, language, gender, religion, ethnicity, aesthetics and even food. In places where the United States and Canada are ethnically diverse, social solidarity is mainly based on shared social values ​​and beliefs. But some people who criticize cultural identity claim that cultural identity based on differences is societal splitting power.
