This is the fundamental question of life. “What makes you?” might be the scariest question we can ask ourselves. One that could potentially give us a headache or make us panic. With over 7 billion people on this earth, no two people look exactly the same. Different eye color, different DNA, different facial features, different everything. However, is eye color or DNA part of the question we always ask ourselves? To the question of what defines our identity, we do not answer by going beyond our different physical characteristics, that is, the last things we have in mind, but rather we challenge ourselves to understand ourselves by having a different one. But how did we get to this point? It's really simple; the answer to our question of what the development of our identity entails is one word: socialization. If you were raised a certain way, you are put into that lifestyle. In his piece Existentialism, Sartre defines identity as “man is nothing other than what he makes himself” (Sartre 349). It means that he feels that our identity is what you determine us to be and nothing else. You can choose who you are and where you end up. However according to Sartre, but what Sartre doesn't know, is that life always goes according to "God's plan", we just don't know until we get there. Yes, that's true. Yet God knows the things we will do before we do them, He knows we will take that sip of alcohol, He knows we will tell that little lie to get us to stop doing something we don't do what He wants to do, He knows all of this in advance. That is why He has a “plan” for us as we move through each decision we make. And for man to be “nothing other than what he does himself, makes man believe… middle of paper… finds this love in the same way we were raised. Our parents are the greatest example of who we end up being and we often find ourselves loving the same type of person. This is why socialization is the aspect of finding our true love and identity. We build a personality or identity by absorbing our interactions and experiences in an ongoing life course. Gender, race, love, family are just some of the many aspects that contribute to making you who you are. We often ask ourselves this question and the answer is actually right there in front of us. Our family and parents help us grow as young individuals looking for the next step in our future. Gender determines how we carry out our daily activities. And finally, love brings us closer to an individual who will help us understand our true identity. Ultimately, making socialization the answer to the scariest question we ask ourselves.
