Introduction:-
Cultural identity is the identity or
feeling of belonging to a group. It is part of a person's self-concept and
self-perception and is related to nationality, ethnicity, religion, social
class, generation, locality or any type of social group that has their own
distinct culture. In this way, cultural identity is characteristic of both
personalities, but those who belong to the same cultural identity or fitness
are also culturally of the same group. Cultural (and distinctive) identity is a
part of identity communication. Which establishes four "identity
frames" that allow us to see how identity is formed. These frames include
the personal frame, the law of the communication frame, the relationship frame
and the commi frame. The communal frame refers to the cultural barrier or the
sense of "right" that people live, which varies by cultural group.
Therefore, cultural identity becomes central to personal identity, how they see
themselves and how they relate to the world.
Cultural identity refers to a
person's sense of belonging to a particular culture or group. This process
involves learning and adapting to traditions, heritage, language, religion,
ancestry, aesthetics, patterns of thinking, and social constructs of culture.
Generally, people internalize their culture's beliefs, values, norms and social
practices and identify themselves with that culture. Culture becomes part of
their self-concept. However, some studies have noted that current cultural
identity theory does not account for the fact that different individuals and
groups cannot respond to or interpret events, events, attitudes, etc., as do
other individuals or groups.
Racial identity:-
Ethnic identity is made up of
personal, social, political, and culturally derived elements that are realized
in some human group, which distinguishes them from magic, because identity must
be consistent with the reality of a given group. Castles writes that ethnicity
is becoming palliative, not as a source of identity, against race and
ethnicity, but also against ethnicity. Nevertheless, the concept of racial
identity, despite its destructive nature, exhibits a range of limitations
imposed on those whose role it may apply to and who is eligible to interact.
Factors influencing cultural identity:-
Cultural studies have many factors
influencing cultural identity, such as social, cultural, political, historical,
historical and economic, as well as external factors. The number of immigrants
or ethnic minorities, the scope of their residence, their homes, Factors such
as the rights and resources they enjoy and their relationships with other
groups also have different meanings for cultural identity. This article focuses
on factors that are relevant at the individual level and which influence the
formation and development of cultural identity.
Cultural difference:-
Generally speaking, the greater the
difference between the two cultures, the more difficult the process of
individual cultural adaptation is, which in turn affects their cultural
identity. Language is a means of expressing cultural differences, people's
culture is identified by language and one of them Important content in the
field of cultural identity research. But the relationship between language and
cultural identity has not been crucial. There are two main perspectives when
examining the relationship between language and cultural identity in foreign
countries. One view is that language is a major factor in cultural identity and
cultural identity has a positive effect. Studies of American children show that
bilingual children who understand their native language and English have higher
levels of national identity than monolingual children who only know English. Secondly,
there is little relation between language and cultural identity, and even if the
language of a nation is lost The individual will still have a high national
identity.
NATIONAL AND
INTERNATIONALIDENTIFICATIONVARIOUS IDENTIFICATIONS:
How strong is the bond between the
individual andthe place where he or she lives: neighbourhood,
city,province, country or
even the surrounding conti-nent? How willing is he or she to
exchange one ofthese for another if such a move provides him or herwith a
better job or better living conditions? Doesloyalty to a place constitute a
barrier to mobility? Theanswers to these
and related questions
provideinsight into the relationship between the individualand a number
of geographical entities, including hiscountry. On this subject some survey
questions wereasked. For instance, how close did the individual feelto various
areas ranging from
neighbourhood tocontinent?2It may
be useful to point out that these andother questions were subject to so-called
local adap-tationin different countries.
In general this principlemeans that the formulation of questions is adapted
tothe country in which the survey is being held. Ofcourse the
adaptation should leave
internationalcomparability unharmed. With regard to geograph-ical orientations,
the concept of
‘province’ wassometimes used,
while the word ‘state’ was insertedfor the United States. If necessary, the
actual name ofthe country was mentioned. The tables in this chapterrefer to the
concept of ‘continent’, whereas the worditself was not used in formulating the
questions. Theresearchers spoke of
East Asia, Europe
or NorthAmerica. Even this
detailed designation is, of course,not meaningful for all the countries. The
inhabitantsof Australia or the United States could well argue thattheir country
corresponded more or less to a conti-nent. In this respect some care will have
to be takenin interpreting the data.
Globalization in relation to ethnic
identity in the Middle East:-
"Can globalization be applied as
an alternative to local identity ?, and is it a process of productive
interaction with that identity? Taking globalization as a historical historical
trend and ideological evolution that changes the perceptions, beliefs, ideas
and tastes of the people in the category that cover its culture and
identity." , One can raise this question. It is reasonable to point out
two sides of the coin, as the process of globalization and how it affects
different areas of social life in the peripheral sphere, such as the Middle
East. To differentiate it, the paper present at one level specifies a
pessimistic approach to this process, which according to which globalization is
understood as an imposed project. On the other hand, we specify a positive
approach in the very process based on globalization is a generalized project,
then the paper explores the positive and negative consequences of this project
on racial identity.
The way we are going to answer this
question, we can explain the clear spectrum on one end, whose globalization is
thought to result in the loss of all kinds of local identity, especially ethnic
identity. On the other end of the spectrum, however, we are given the
impression that racial differences in globalization are produced and identities
are increased. In the hope of identifying the positive constructive impacts of
globalization on cultural identity, especially in general and ethnic identity.
Canclution:-
cultural identity, which leads to
differences in research design and further research conclusions. research
objects, we should expand and improve relevant theories, and generalize the
principle of cultural identity from the local phenomenon, reflecting the
innovation of theoretical development. In summary, factors such as age, gender,
socioeconomic status, cultural differences, and social support are of great
significance in individual cultural identity.
Secondly, the theoretical backgrounds of developmental psychology,
social psychology and cross-cultural psychology on which cultural identity
depends are similar and different, but these theories are born in the Western
context. The main target of attention is immigration. Therefore, it is
necessary to treat differently when interpreting the cultural identity of
ethnic minority groups in China. In addition, the shortcomings of these
theories need to be investigated by researchers from different angles.
