Identity Statement:
Introduction:
Personal Identity deals with philosophical questions that arise about ourselves by virtue of our being people. Man must have a relation in order to thrive in an abundant communal environment, in this essay I will be talking about identity and purpose, and how my experiences have shaped my identity and shaped my belief on the telos of humanity. The telos is related to my personal beliefs.
Personal Statement:
Something that has shaped my identity and has influenced me to be the person I am is religion. Growing up in a Christian home and going to a Lutheran church has helped shape my morals positively because of the strict guidelines. And it has helped me see what my personal telos is and it helps show what the purpose of humanity is. It has shaped my identity as it has taught me to be respectable. Going to church every Sunday and listening to the teachings and the scriptures has helped me see the truth, beauty and goodness of God, and it allows the truth, beauty, and goodness to be seen in the world. Allowing people to believe what they want to believe is teaching them not to think, because being a Christian means you dedicate your life and heart to God, if you trust in yourself and not God then you are not dedicated to God. Another concept that has shaped my identity is family. Growing up in large family has helped me be more responsible and has helped me be able to deal with other people. Because I was brought up in a tight family I believe
There is many things that shape identity big things and small things such as family, religion or even random people they have met in public. For example Juliet wouldn't be the same without her parents she would be alive and would have never met Romeo. One of the biggest things that shape someone's identity is life experiences, whether it's if you lost your dad or met an amazing person life experiences are a huge factor in shaping one's identity.
Currently, I am in the process of not only becoming comfortable in my identity, a black queer woman, but, also attempting to find solace in my identity as well. Something that all women, especially black queer women, should achieve in their lifetime. It is that dream that inspires me to travel to experience other cultures and to unite with women from various cultures across the black diaspora. Throughout many cultures, women’s identities are defined by their male counterparts and the labor they provide to them. Therefore, a major goal of mine is to create a space where women are able to exist outside the scope of their relationships with men and live uninhibitedly to become their best selves. That is why I find it pertinent to travel not only
Topic B: Some students have an identity, an interest, or a talent that defines them in essential way. If you are one of these students, then tell us about yourself.
The main focus of this paper will be a Profession Identity Statement, where I will state my experiences and areas of interests. The Professional Identity Statement is important for those who are graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree because it allows the student to adequately articulate oneself when discussing future career or graduate school goals. The Statement also allows students to reflect and understand their own goals, so they are able to answer questions about their plans after graduation and have an idea of what one would like to do. It is important to have some sort of understanding of the direction an individual would like to go in after graduation or else it could lead to a delay in possible opportunities. My Professional Identity

I have always enjoyed reading about history and follow the history channel faithfully. I love music. It's been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I find it calming when life gets rocky.
Personal identity is a theory of philosophy that asks the question of who are we, and is there life after we die? (Internet Encyclopaedia of Philosophy, n.d). There are four different approaches in relation to personal identity, the psychological continuity, bodily continuity, identity doesn’t matter and narrative identity. This essay will discuss the bodily approach and will discuss how the approach responds to the problem of personal identity and also the limitations and the weaknesses of the bodily approach. Along with the problem of personal identity on its own as well as looking at the problem of personhood and who am I and this essay will be looking at the limitations / weaknesses that go along with the bodily approach.
This essay will discuss the idea that personal identity persists over time. It will start by briefly analysing some philosophical approaches to the problem, with views from René Descartes, G.W. Leibniz, Thomas Reid, Ludwig Wittgenstein, John Perry and Derek Parfit. Also in the discussion, the concept of psychological continuity will be presented, and also its reaches and limits. I will, then, introduce the concept of unity as a consequence of personal continuity, and its compelling argument for the persistence of personal identity. As a conclusion, some suggestions as to where the discussion of personal identity should advance will be recommended.
As a person, my identity has been shaped by my religion, the people I care about, and sports. First of all, one of the major things that shape me into what I am is religion. An example of how religion has shaped me is what we are told to do as christians. As a christian, we are told to show love. We are told to love the lord and love others.
A person’s identity is shaped by many different aspects. Family, culture, friends, personal interests and surrounding environments are all factors that tend to help shape a person’s identity. Some factors may have more of an influence than others and some may not have any influence at all. As a person grows up in a family, they are influenced by many aspects of their life. Family and culture may influence a person’s sense of responsibilities, ethics and morals, tastes in music, humor and sports, and many other aspects of life. Friends and surrounding environments may influence a person’s taste in clothing, music, speech, and social activities. Personal interests are what truly set individuals apart. An individual is not a puppet
With given a choice of what to write this paper, I could not get past the subtle nature of who we are as God’s creations. This fundamental truth of our identity is simplified with the truth of our identity in Jesus. We are created in God’s image with a purpose here on earth to display all of God’s greatness, His beauty, and to reveal all of His character aspects. Best of all, we are completely dependent on God. This new enlightenment of my identity in Christ as God’s creation will allow me to help people around the world become one with Christ by revealing the truth of their identity.
I was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD at the age of ten and was fortunate enough to receive appropriate assistance in school. I was raised in a low socioeconomic status, Hispanic home with my parents caring for me and my younger brothers with autism. Statistically, the likelihood of success was not in my favor. However, regardless of societal and personal obstacles, I graduated high school and got accepted into California State University, Fullerton. In addition, while attending CSUF, I have displayed excellence through consistent exertion and determination. I should receive this award because I exemplify the highest standards of academic achievement, service to my university and community, and commitment to professional development.
To be an American is to have traits of freedom the thing that the founding fathers counted on is to have the will to speak freely and to have the will of religion in the constitution it say that every citizen should have life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This impacts and brings everyone from different places to help create a society that is free. The founding fathers also counted for the people to speak for what is right. The reason is because this helps out on what the people want instead of the government wants this goes to show that the people matter and that is what makes a person happy and also makes a person feel like they have the pursuit to be happy.
My purpose is to show my individuality and to express myself. This is for others including myself, to see and to remind us that our identity is very complex.
Everybody has an identity, it makes them individual and unique, and it defines who you are as a person. This project about my identity showed me what makes me unique. I would have never known how much my friends mean to me or how my identities connect with each other. I have three identities that make me who I am, cultural, personal, and social. A specific quality that covers my cultural identity is being Czechoslovakian. Both sides of my family have at least a part of Czech in them. My great-grandparents are from Czech Republic and my grandpa was the first generation in America, he was born in Ohio. This is very important because I have always identified as Czech and it is a big part of me, as I am so interested in ancestry. For my personal identity, the biggest part is my personality, being loud and outgoing, has always been important to me. The reason being, it is how people view me. A lot of people know me as the loud person or the person who talks a lot. That is meaningful to me considering I like people to view me in a certain way The last identity, social, is one of the most important to me because it involves my friends, and through this project, I learned how vital they really are to my social identity. I realized that I have a good amount of friends in this project. It is nice to have people as a support system and to relate with. These qualities show that I value being loud and outgoing. It also says that I value my family and they are a big part of life. The last one, social, ties in with the first one because it shows I am outgoing and friendly.
