Re: Changing one's identity to make oneself admirable for a gathering ?
anthropology describes this 'change' as..cultural/social adaptation...it has been happening from prehistoric times..is happening now..and will happen in the future..
it is in human nature to expand boundaries...and move away from its origin..ironically..only to find itself...
adapting is part of human nature.
Identity crisis on the other hand is an extreme phase of adaptation...more of a mutation..if you will.....
a balanced..well headed human being will adapt him/herself according to their belief system...
