Identity Crisis

The main concept of 'American dreamer' is about immigrant identity. Mukherjee said that this is an "identity crisis". "Human identity is derived from religion, caste, heritage, and her mother tongue." For her family's religious tradition, Mukherjee is filled with her permanent identity in her own culture. It can only be Brahman from Bangladesh ... My identity is related to the ancestral soil and genealogy. "

Let's go back to the problem of identity. When you are faced with a challenge to self-recognition, the identity 'crisis' can happen at any time during adulthood. In addition, although not all teenagers experienced identity crisis, we accept the roles and values ​​inherited by his or her parents. Some teenagers are still at stake. Researchers followed the theory to extend the concept of Ericsson's identity crisis as there are more than two ways to deal with teen identity issues. James Marcia, a psychologist at Simon Fraser University, worked at the University of Buffalo and developed a framework that continues to stimulate the identity development of many young people. Marcia, also known as "identification status", defines four alternative ways for teens to solve identification problems.

You have definitely heard the word "identity crisis", but you may not know its origin. Development psychologist Erik Erikson defines eight crisis stages, which are the characteristics of our life from birth to death. Identity achievement and identity communication are the fifth crisis an individual experiences during the adolescent years. This crisis is one of the high susceptibility to certain developmental changes in puberty. Teenagers experience rapid changes in the body, hormones, mood and cognitive abilities. Perhaps for the first time in their lives they consider their role in society, including their profession, values, and role of gender.
