Personal identity is the individual perception that a person has about himself; it is the consciousness of existing. They are a series of data that are acquired throughout life, capable of shaping the pattern of behavior and personality. Its development begins when the child, already aware of the presence of others as well as his own in the world, step by step processes the role that he represents for society.
In much of the globe, it is considered that infants should remain in an environment free of immoral acts or important deficiencies, since this would be preventing the development of a citizen capable of harming others and himself. How it looks, from an intimate perspective, an individual is, perhaps, one of the most important elements in the personality. It is a very important social integration skill, since, without its presence, a human being would not identify with certain tastes or behaviors, small details that define whether he manages to join a group. The ideologies observed since childhood, together with the environment, collaborate to consolidate the vision with which the world will be appreciated.
In addition to the personal approach, belonging to a community and agreeing with the ideas it professes can suggest a strong influence on identity. Nationality, language, social tribe or traditions considerably affect behavior, by the continuous transmission of how one belongs to them. Likewise, name and age help to form a sense of individuality.
