In what ways we express our different identities?

I think that everyday we express our identity in very different ways. In the way we eat, the way we dress even the way we behave, it all matters when we talk about our identity.  My way of eat is different from the way that a chinese guy in the other part of the world eats, because i use fork and knife and he uses sticks, for example. Also the way i dress everyday is different from another person. My sense of fashion is instituted by what i see and what i like, depending only of my free will. The language that i speak is part of me as well. My cultural identity is seen through my knoledge, my origins, my language and the way i act before situations.

From childhood we learn by our parents the values and the lessons that in the future are like a guide to the right path where our identity is. Those values are very helpful to respect, in my opinion, other cultures. In my everyday i respect other etnic minorities and people of the same sex who like each other because i know that those people are equal to me. Now have I total respect? No. I cannot respect some atitudes our behaviours that a culture could have. I talk specificaly, about acts of terrorism. Those acts made to please a God. Although i have religious tolerance.

My own identity  differs also  in what i think of myself and what the others think of me. These two are a very different perspectives. It is proved ,scientificaly, that what we think is a more negative perspective than the one that the others have from us.  And thats true i think. Sometimes when we don´t care about us we need to search people, either friends or family to bring us up and to give us strenght to deal our everyday.

Saying that, what are some ways in which you express your identities?
