Social identity theory is a theory that was created by Henri Tajfel and John Turner in the 1970s and 80s, and is there most influential work in psychology. The basic idea of social identity itself is a self-perceived notion of who there are based on their membership to certain social groups. With that being said that idea creates the base from which Social Identity Theory forms. Social identity theory is best described as primarily a theory that predicts certain intergroup behaviours on the basis of the perceived status, legitimacy and permeability of the intergroup environment. According to Tajfel individuals gain self-esteem by their group membership and this is a sense of pride to them. Social identity theory states that people are driven and behave in certain ways by both their interpersonal and intergroup circumstances.
Topic: identity

One of the main features of the social identity theory is that individuals are driven by a need for a positive self-concept. This is achieved by the group membership. It is achieved by promoting the status of the current group the individual belongs too (Hayes N). For example saying Chelsea is the best football team and raising their status may be done by a Chelsea football player or even a fan in order to increase an individual’s own self-image. As stated self-image increases based on the group status, this is done though promoting the group an individual belongs to but is also done by criticizing, devaluing and discriminating against other groups in which an individual does not belong. For example if an individual says “England is the best country in the world, countries like France suck” that individual is promoting his group while devaluing the other group.
Topic: identity

Social categories are used with people too for example categories like black, white, English, Christian, Muslim, student are all used. Using these category’s helps people learn more about others but it also helps people learn more about themselves. We define appropriate behaviour by reference to the norms of groups we belong to, but that can only be achieved if an individual can tell who belongs to which group. The second part is self-identification. This is where an individual adopts the value’s beliefs and the behaviours of the group that they have that they categorise themselves with. This is where an individual’s self-esteem begins to become reliant on the status of the group. The final part is social comparison where groups compete and compare with other groups (Burke P).

For the second piece of literature, the one that was used was a study on the Greek Football Fans and their national identity after a defeat. This study used an internet survey shortly before and after the match using questionnaires. This survey included 52 participants and the results showed that the main finding was that, despite expressing disappointment about the team’s failure to replicate the result which had occurred four years earlier, fans rated their national identity high. Of those who completed both questionnaires, national identity remained stable from before to after the competition (bps.org.uk).
Topic: identity

Hall (1916) stated that a period of turmoil, “storm and stress” is due to biology, i.e. hormonal changes. This means that adolescents go through this period, not due to differences/changes in their lives, but because their bodies are changing rapidly and hormones are being released constantly and therefore mood swings and such are inevitable. However, Erikson (1963) believed that it is human nature to pass through a sequence of psychosocial stages.
Topic: identity

This has 4 stages:Identity Achievement Status: The adolescent has worked through their identity crisis and firm commitments have been made. They achieve a stable sense of themselves and are set up for future life as productive adults. However, research has shown the belief that Erikson made (the generation gap) to be incorrect (e.g. Lerner, Karson, Meisels, & Knapp, 1975). For example, Kandel and Lesser (1972) found that parents and their children had more similar values and attitudes than did adolescents and their friends.
Topic: identity

Studies conducted in several countries have found that young people get on with their parents and perceive them as the most important people in their lives. Also, adolescents who have conflicts with parents were shown to have already had poor relationships before puberty arose. These studies have a lot of validity because they have taken place in lots of countries and not just one and therefore this research can be generalised to many teenagers all over the world. This is unlike some of the other studies conducted, as they were carried out in just western countries and so only applies to adolescents that live in that region.
Topic: identity

In non-Western cultures such as Samoa, adolescence is described as ‘the age of maximum ease’, with little or no conflict with parents. In this country the people have ‘the sunniest and easiest attitudes towards sex’. This viewpoint is also supported by research from Shostak (1981), showed that in southern Africa, young people are economically self-sufficient by mid-childhood and can marry and reproduce as soon as they have reached sexual maturity. Similary amongst the Canadian Inuit, young people were seen to be adult when they reached puberty. Girls married and became mothers in their teenage years.
Topic: identity

Conclusion: Looking at the research I have studied, it is suggested that many different teenagers over the world are subjected to many different problems and deal with these in different ways. Some of the research did not look at non-Western countries and so an overall conclusion could not have been drawn for adolescents all over the world. In Western countries teenagers seem to have to face more problems and debates with family and themselves than in non-Western countries. This is due to the fact that in non-Western countries, as soon as sexual maturity has taken place you automatically become an adult. This is good on one hand as you are not faced with all the stress and turmoil of adolescence, but on the other hand you are not able to experiment with personalities to find out who you want to be in the future.
Topic: identity

Therefore in conclusion to the question asked, depending on where you live in the world depends on the amount of stress and turmoil encountered as an adolescent. Adolescents in Western countries experience a lot more stress and turmoil due to changing societies and norms and the prolonged experience of being an adolescent. However, overall this is not a bad thing. As, in answer to the question ‘Must I be a Teenager at all?’, during adolescence, although it is a very stressful time, in Western countries, it is a very important time in life where you can experiment with different personalities and future options so that when you have finally found the right lifestyle for you, you will be able to concentrate on making the best out of your future, career and relationships.
Topic: identity

Globalization shouldn’t shape identity because many people would start to speak the same language. This could be a big problem because if we lose many different languages then we would lose a part of our history/ heritage. An example of this would be, if the French culture stopped speaking French and started speaking English only then the French language would “die out”. Eventually no one would be able to speak French or even read it. Therefore we would lose whatever historic things we had in French because the younger generations wouldn’t know what it was or the importance of it either.
Topic: identity

Globalization shouldn’t change our identity or anything, but it should connect the world together better. Globalization only affects and shapes your identity as much as you allow it to. Millions of people worldwide allow globalization to shape their identity. A good example of how globalization affects and shapes other people around the world would be McDonalds™. They are a transnational corporation, so people over in China or even in Dominican Republic can have American fast food.
Topic: identity

But the McDonalds™ doesn’t serve any of their cultural food, therefore this affects their identity because then they will start eating a different cultural food instead of their own. This could also be a form of assimilation. Globalization doesn’t really shape my identity, but in some ways it does. For example, I find it a lot easier to just dress in American Eagle clothing then actually finding out about my heritage back around and wearing traditional/ cultural clothing.
Topic: identity

This also shapes others identity too, more people rather wear something that is well known then wear their traditional/ cultural clothing. They don’t want to be discriminated against, plus it makes it easier to fit in with other cultures if you have something in common i. e. clothing. Our individual and collective identities are affected by communication and the media in many ways. One of those ways being, how we easily can talk to people on the other side of the world within minutes even seconds, between sixty and eighty years ago, we wouldn’t be able to talk to people on the other side of the world.
Topic: identity

But with all the advanced technology there are many ways we can connect, communicate, and interact with others far away within minutes. Facebook is one way millions of people communicate now, it has brought the world so much closer together, because now we can find family members online and also chat with them, even if they live in another country. The media also affects our individual and collective identities because without the media we wouldn’t know about issues happening in other places around the world. For example, without television we wouldn’t know about the earthquake that just recently occurred in Japan.
Topic: identity

We as a group aren’t powerless in how globalization affects our identities. As individuals we are because we can’t really stop it or change it. But as a group we influence globalization because we are constantly trying to connect with others and learn about their heritage and culture. Also, we put many of our transnational companies over in their country, which is part of globalization; we affect their identity as much as they affect ours. There are many other things what we do that influences globalization. Globalization has allowed a better communication flow with less and more developed countries.
Topic: identity

Strong Similarities are found between “Barn Burning” by William Faulkner and “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker. Both stories feature characters that are unsure of themselves and are affected by someone in their family; most importantly these characters have an experience which give them a new and much needed identity. In “Barn Burning” the main focus will be on Sarty’s emotions and his eventual acceptance of self. I will focus primarily on Ms. Johnson and her two daughters with special focus on Maggie when discussing “Everyday Use”.
Topic: identity

“… the smell and sense of just a little fear because mostly of despair and grief, the old fierce pull of blood (Schwiebert, 423). This description of an ongoing inner battle explains Sarty’s guilt of not hating the neighbor as his father does. …our enemy he thought in that despair; ourn! Mine and hisn both! He’s my father! ” Such fierce desire to feel the loyalty his father expects is displayed. When Sarty is called up to possibly testify, the reader can feel Sarty’s relief when told to sit down with out testimony. The young boy is caught between loyalty and the morals instilled in him from society (Ford, 1). This pull towards family loyalty is only reinforced by the boy’s conversation with his father following the departure from their town of residence. Abner addresses his son, knowing that Sarty was close to telling the truth during the hearing.
Topic: identity

Abner says to Sarty; You’re getting to be a man. You got to learn. You got to learn to stick to your own blood or you ain’t going to have any blood to stick to you. Do you think either of them any man there this morning, would? Don’t you know all they wanted was a chance to get at me because they knew I had them beat? Eh? (Schwiebert. 426) It is Abner’s paranoid thinking and quiet threats that give Sarty the inner battle between what’s morally right and family loyalty. It is this ever-present pull that causes such feelings of guilt for Sarty.
Topic: identity

In one scene he defends his father’s actions but shortly after he is angry with his father for putting the family in such dire conditions (i. e. constantly having to move, poverty stricken, etc. ). Sarty’s true test of loyalty comes at the end of the story when it becomes clear that Abner will be burning the landlord’s barn down after the incident with the rug. Sarty is enraged, but the guilt never subsides. For a short period of time, Sarty is actually an accomplice to his father’s actions by running to the stable and getting the oil to use to set the fire; this he does in the name of loyalty.
Topic: identity

This is the old habit, the old blood which he has not been permitted to choose for himself, which has been bequeathed to him willy nilly and which had run for so long (and who knew where, battening on what of outrage and savagery and lust) before it came to him. I could keep on, he thought. I could run on and on and on and never look back, never to see his face again. Only I can’t. I can’t… (433). The reader can sense his desperation. The child is so desperate for a way out, but the loyalty to his father overwhelms him. Ms. Johnson of “Everyday Use” expresses a similar sense of loyalty.
Topic: identity

At first her loyalty is seen as defending her daughter Dee because she is so extreme. Dee has always had a “nothing can stop me” attitude, which has caused her to become cold and condescending, even to her family. It’s Dee’s self-righteousness that Ms. Johnson tries to defend in the beginning of “Everyday Use” by making excuses for her daughter, much like Sarty did for his father. Dee wanted nice things…She was determined to stare down any disaster in her efforts…At sixteen she had a style of her own and knew what style was…Her feet were always neat-looking, as if God himself had shaped them with a certain style.
Topic: identity

The mother’s loyalty to her child is an extension of the “pleasure principle” in which Dee lives by, she is “naturally attracted to her pleasure driven daughter” (Guerin, 154). Although loyal to her other daughter Maggie in the sense of maternal loyalty, she does not exhibit this until the end when she makes a decision to give the quilts to her, instead of Dee. It is once Ms. Johnson’s moral vision oversteps the pleasure-vision, that she see’s both daughters as they are (154). Dee wants it all.

As she goes through the home, taking the churn top and dasher, to know doubt be used as conversation pieces back at school, she comes across the old quilts passed down by her great-grandmother. Maggie is understandably upset when she hears her sister asking to have them after they had been promised to her. However, Maggie, the shy, emotionally and physically scarred young woman will not speak up for herself. In fact, she gives in to her sister’s demand telling her mother that Dee can keep them. An argument between Dee and her mother is brought on when Ms.
Topic: identity

Johnson tries to rally for Maggie as the one who would appreciate and use the quilts, not just display them as Dee wished to do. Ms. Johnson has a moment of clarity after Maggie gives in to her older, wiser and more beautiful sister. She saw in Maggie not fear but a telling of life and her acceptance that life for her is unjust. She looked at her sister with something like fear bit she wasn’t mad at her. This was Maggie’s portion. This was the way she knew God to work. When I looked at her like that something hit me in the top of my head and ran down to the soles of my feet.
Topic: identity

Just like when I’m in church and the spirit of God touches me and I get happy and shout. I did something I never had done before: hugged Maggie to me, then dragged her on into the room, snatched the quilts out of Miss Wangero’s hands and dumped them into Maggie’s lap. Maggie just sat there on my bed with her mouth open (396). It was this moment of clarity that Ms. Johnson demonstrates her family loyalty. That is not to say she chose to be loyal to one daughter and not the other, but to be loyal to herself and her emotions.
Topic: identity

By being true to herself she was able to reach out to Maggie as well as show Dee that she did not always have to get her way. The point of view found used in these two stories differed; giving the reader a different reading experience for each. “Barn Burning” had a third person, “multiple narrative presence” (Ford, 1), whereas “Everyday Use” was first person. The narrator in Faulkner’s “Barn Burning” was textured with both an anonymous narrator and one of Sarty’s character twenty years after the events in the story take place. Using this technique, Faulkner allows the readers the full experience of what Sarty is going through.
Topic: identity

Faulkner’s use of foreshadowing depicts Sarty’s survival through the time of his father’s barn burnings and his confusion as to his loyalty to his father and family. The mature Sarty is able to reflect upon his traumatizing childhood. Mature Sarty is able to interject with hindsight allowing the reader a well rounded reading experience. For example, when the heated discussion of loyalty between father and son comes up as noted above, mature Sarty comments that “…had I said they wanted only truth, justice, he would have hit me again” (426). Third person narration is used in Walker’s “Everyday Use”. Ms. Johnson, the mother of Maggie and Dee, tells the story of the day she chose her heritage over the glitz and glam of Dee’s modern world as well as the day Maggie became comfortable with herself. There is a contradiction within the narration of “Everyday Use”. In A Handbook of Critical Approaches to Literature the authors’ state that although Ms. Johnson claims to be uneducated… the reader must soon note that the mother does not narrate as one without education would; nor does she speak in a less than standard dialect, although with a few colloquialisms, to be sure; nor is she at loss for words, whether as narrator or as speaker (119).
Topic: identity

It is my opinion that the mother’s low regard of herself is based on the fact that her daughter Dee has always treated her as less than intelligent. For instance, the mother comments on how Dee would read to her and Maggie, getting them as involved as possible, only for Dee to stop just at the point when the two listeners might finally understand. Dee places herself on a pedestal because of her college education, but as the reader finds out, her education taught her nothing of the importance of heritage and family tradition.
Topic: identity

She regards herself as better than her family members who “choose” to live in poverty, unaware of the rising political agenda of that time. All this causes Ms. Johnson to believe her daughter is better than her and thus she claims to be uneducated, when really life has educated her well. The final similarity to be discussed is that of identity. The two characters which will be analyzed take different roles in the two stories. Sarty is a main character in “Barn Burning”, whereas Maggie takes a minor character with an important roll in the story of “Everyday Use”.
Topic: identity

Both stories involve the making of an identity after a life changing experience. Throughout Faulkner’s story “Barn Burning”, Sarty is seeking his true identity. The confusion caused by his father’s actions cause him to question who he is. Is he a trader for feeling the moral duty to tell the truth of his father’s actions? Or is it his duty to be loyal to his blood and hate the men his father hates and lie to protect him? After he is struck by his father for almost telling the Justice of the Peace the truth about the fire, Sarty expresses his confusion, especially since this particular slap came, for once, with an explanation.
Topic: identity

His father had struck him before last night but never before had he paused afterward to explain why; it was as if the blow and the following calm, outrageous voice still rang, repercussed, divulging nothing to him save the terrible handicap of being young, the light weight of his few years, just heavy enough to prevent his soaring free of the world as it seemed to be ordered but not heavy enough to keep him footed solid in it, to resist it and try to change the course of its events (Schwiebert 426).
Topic: identity

When reading this, I was reminded of what it was like to be a teenager, the inevitable question of identity and knowing but not knowing enough. Sarty felt the pressure to be what his father wanted him to be, but in his heart he knew his father was wrong. He did however try to rationalize his father’s behavior in order to be what he thought he should be. He told himself his father was once a soldier, he should respect and honor him; he even tried to convince himself that his father was done with his criminal behaviors.
Topic: identity

After the landlord demanded twenty bushels of corn as pay back for the rug which Abner had ruined, Sarty thinks: Maybe this is the end of it. Maybe even that twenty bushels that seems hard to have to pay for just a rug will be a cheap price for him to stop forever and always from being what he used to be…maybe he won’t collect the twenty bushels. Maybe it will all add up and balance and vanish-corn, rug, fire; the terror and grief, the being pulled to ways like between two teams of horses-gone, done with for ever and ever (431). This thinking is what causes Sarty his identity crisis.
Topic: identity

However as the reader listens to the mature Sarty, one realizes that Sarty did in fact survive his childhood and is able to look back on it rationally. As a child he felt his father could not help but be what he was; but as an adult Sarty knew the truth of his father’s criminal behavior. Faulkner writes: …the element of fire spoke to some deep mainspring of his father’s being, as the element of steel or of powder spoke to other men, as the one weapon for the preservation of integrity, else breath were not worth the breathing, and hence to be regarded with respect and used with discretion (425).
Topic: identity

The night of the final barn burning Sarty makes the decision on a subconscious level to warn the landlord of his father’s actions. That night his father is killed and Sarty is set free; he knows he has done the right thing. As he runs to the flaming barn, he is running through his childhood. As he screams that it is his father, not to hurt his father, he suddenly becomes calm and clear headed. He’s free. The identity found in “Everyday Use” is not only Ms.
Topic: identity

Johnson coming to terms with her heritage but more importantly Maggie. After years of feeling inadequate in her sister’s shadow, she is given an identity when her mother stands up for her and gives her the quilt rather than Dee. In this simple gesture, Maggie realizes that she too is deserving of the finer things in life. Maggie and her mother had very little, and Dee was threatening to take what little valuables they had by taking the quilt, which had been passed down through the generations.
Topic: identity

Giving this important piece of heritage to Maggie gave her a sense of belonging, not only to the family but to the world. She was accepted. Maggie went from the homely, shy, insignificant girl to a proud and important young woman. After the tense emotion displayed during Dee’s visit, the day is ended on a peaceful note; with Maggie smiling a real smile and her and her mother enjoying the peaceful evening together (Guerin 396).
Topic: identity

It was not an easy task deciding on what topics to cover when analyzing Faulkner’s “Barn Burning” and “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker. There are so many points to make in each story that it would require a much longer essay. However, the comparisons made were, in my opinion, ones of a less obvious, yet equally important nature. Culture, history and politics, for example, could have been discussed but I felt loyalty and identity were key experiences in both stories. The narration used in either story was essential to discuss.
Topic: identity

Faulkner’s narrative voice gave readers a look inside Sarty’s emotions both during his childhood and as an adult looking back. The first person narrative in “Everyday use”, although it could be construed as one-sided, allowed the reader to experience not only the characters actions but to get a feel for what was happening in the world at that time, such as the civil rights movement. Both stories were intense and beautifully written, which is why decades later they are still discussed among the literary world as well as in educational institutions.
Topic: identity

Among the assortment of aesthetic chases, one subject stands out for being somewhat unconventional. It is a jubilation of qualities normally regarded as ‘falling short of ‘ , or ‘deteriorating from the optimum status of the object ‘ ( De Mente, 2006 ) . While such plants may look slightly homely and unsmooth, at the same clip they impart a sense of elegance and tranquility, a sort of ‘unsophisticated edification ‘ , like ‘the Moon obscured by clouds ‘ . ( Koren, 1994 ) .
Topic: identity

Wabi is derived from the verb wabu ( to deteriorate ) and the adjectival wabishii ( lone, comfortless ) . The kernel of wabi has been described as nonattachment and elusive reconditeness ( De Mente, 2006:45 ) . The nonattachment kernel of a wabi is portion of the Zen School of Buddhism that teaches withdrawal from all material things and the ability to see the kernel of things ( Koren, 1994:12 ) . On the other manus, the original significance of sabi is ‘rust ‘ or ‘patina ‘ , but it besides connotes loneliness and devastation as reflected in the adjectival sabishii ( lonely ) , peculiarly with mention to old age ( 1994:13 ) .
Topic: identity

Originally, the significances of neither wabi nor sabi were specifically related to aesthetic qualities. The development of the wabi-sabi aesthetic began in earnest during the Kamakura Period ( 1185-1333 ) co-occuring with the spread of Zen Buddhism in Japan ( Koren 1994:12 ) . Zen thoughts about exceeding the mundane universe and conventional ways of looking at things – through constructs like emptiness, impermanency and repudiation – inspired a sort of grasp of ‘negative ‘ experiences such as old age, poorness and solitariness ( Suzuki, 1972:42 ) . Hermits, priests and poets taking a lone roving life in hunt of religious penetration incorporated this sense of grasp in their plants and instructions. As these thoughts gained impulse, people tried to vacate themselves to the agonies of life and began to see a sort of beauty in them. Expressed in artistic signifiers, this in bend evolved into the aesthetic grasp of wabi-sabi ( Koren, 1994:14 ) .
Topic: identity

Subsequently, the development of the tea ceremonial in the sixteenth century Markss an of import measure in the development of wabi-sabi. Sen no Rikyu ( 1522-1591 ) , credited with set uping the tea ceremonial in its current signifier, was besides influential in set uping wabi-sabi as an aesthetic construct ( Okakura, 2005:33 ) . He extolled the usage of simple, autochthonal homestyle tea utensils over the expensive and extremely cosmetic tea utensils imported from China, puting objects showing wabi-sabi at the pinnacle of aesthetic grasp ( 2005:34 ) .
Topic: identity

Initially, these new aesthetics could merely be ‘discovered ‘ in the low utensils used by the common people, or in a ignored rock lantern overgrown with moss. However, as clip progressed, design plants were deliberately created to reflect wabi-sabi, for illustration, raku earthenware tea bowls or the design of the tea-house, which took on the manner of a simple rural hut, with infinite interior for merely two tatami mats ( around 3.5mA? ) ( De Mente, 2006:45 ) .
Topic: identity

Futhermore in art and design, two other elements that are frequently associated with sabi objects are dissymmetry and asceticism. Kakuzo Okakura ( 2005:15 ) , the Nipponese tea maestro, labelled this dissymmetry beauty as ‘the art of imperfectness ‘ . Surprises are achieved by the imbalanced by the evident entropy of things that allows the perceiver to finish the image. This stands in contrast to the Western irresistible impulse to symmetry and mathematical balance, go forthing no surprises and nil for the spectator to add.
Topic: identity

Besides deserving nil is that in modern Japan, the definition of a wabi-sabi manner of populating evolves into the riddance of things which that are unessential. The tranquility facet of wabi dictates a expression and experience that radiates an aura of composure and consolation. The natural facet of sabi consequences from avoiding intrigue of any kind. This includes doing an object or country expression as if it were created by nature, non by human or machine ( Koren, 1994 ) .
Topic: identity

Therefore, one might reason that wabi-sabi, the exclusion of all excess things, pervades Nipponese mind. Interior designers of such architecture tend to utilize natural stuffs, to hold them look every bit natural as possible, and to use muted -almost monochrome – coloring material strategies. It is the writer ‘s sentiment that Ando ‘s plants badly limits the scope of interior colorss. Ando ‘s edifices are about wholly unfinished concrete with the exclusion of floors and trappingss, which are of natural stuffs, and window sashes, which, though steel, are ever painted grey, ne’er bright self-asserting colors. This attack used both by interior decorators of tea ceremonial edifices and by Ando, is determined by a concern for the stuffs themselves and for spacial composing ( Baek, 2008 ) .
Topic: identity

One might reason views the infinites in Ando ‘s edifices as holding the same peaceful, about bare spirit of wabi-sabi that informs the design of a teashop or lonely mountain temple. Apart from warm touches of wooden flooring and nature beyond, every surface of concrete, steel or mass is a chilly humdrum Grey. These black-and-white keies are clearly Nipponese, created in traditional edifices in silvery roof tiles, grey-weathered boards, impersonal plaster and white paper screens.
Topic: identity

Further widening the statement, the delicate beauty of shadows that marked the Nipponese cultural individuality, as were praised by novelist Junichiro Tanizaki ( 1977 ) , are utilised by Ando to inculcate his edifices with an eldritch temper which enrich the nothingness with darkness. Ando ‘s Shiba Ryotaro Memorial Museum in Higashiosaka [ fig.1 ] , as observed by the writer, is saturated with a heavy darkness made even important by the sudden explosion of visible radiation in the south-west lift.
Topic: identity

The writer opines that the impression of Nipponese individuality in Ando ‘s plant is perceived sultrily instead than visually. The writer sees Ando ‘s Hyogo PrefecturalA Museum of Art, near Kobe, as a deceivingly closed, minimalist volume of natural concrete [ fig.2 ] . Dal Co ( 1997:125 ) describes the signifier of the museum as one which is radically new, yet “ there is still the old feeling of privacy, of an architecture that creates ‘another universe ‘ remote from the mundane ” . The overall spacial construction is described by Dal Co ( 1997:25 ) as ‘closed to the outside yet unfastened within, the former tempered by a few slits and the latter by superimposed planes ‘ . This, in the writer ‘s position, is implicative of the old, traditional Nipponese attack, where edifice is enclosed with a simple clay wall and made inside porous by superimposed screens.
Topic: identity

Furthermore, it should be noted that in Ando ‘s work there are no familiar physical elements associated with traditional Nipponese architecture. One can barely happen the traditional unfastened marquee, au naturel timber skeleton, profoundly overhanging roofs, or skiding shoji doors of immaculate white paper ( Jodidio, 2004: 21 ) . Nevertheless Ando has transmuted these belongingss into something new, anchoring his architecture in an ancient civilization while liberating it of word picture.

The term Critical Regionalism was coined in 1981 by Alexander Tzonis and Liane Lefaivre in their article “ The Grid and the Pathway ” and in 1983 Kenneth Frampton authored an article on the same topic. Harmonizing to the definition of these writers, Critical Regionalism is the accent of “ placeness ” seting into context elements like scenery, historical mentions and visible radiation, without falling into imitation and traditionality. Frampton ‘s essay ‘Tadao Ando ‘s Critical Modernism ‘ ( 1984:6 ) celebrates Ando as a critical regionalist, and uses the attack as a paradigm to discourse Ando ‘s architecture.

[ 12 ] The RBAC characteristics range from simple to complex enterpriser ‘s environment. The RBAC consists of four theoretical accounts – nucleus RBAC, hierarchal RBAC, inactive constrained RBAC, dynamic constrained RBAC. The nucleus RBAC are organizes five administrative undertakings: ( 1 ) users ( 2 ) functions ( 3 ) permissions where permissions are composed of ( 4 ) operations applied to ( 5 ) object [ 14 ] .

The 2nd component of RBAC theoretical account is hierarchal RBAC. In any organisation ( In this instance MPS ) staffs often has multiple occupation duties and privileges and nonspecific operations exist that all staffs should be able to execute. This sort of function distribution is highly hard and administrative operating expense ; in order to avoid such unpleasant event function hierarchies are used. It defines that it have alone properties and that may incorporate some other functions and that is “ One function may include the operations, constrains, and objects those are associated with another function ” .

Constraints are an of import portion of role-based entree control policies. The safety or security of a system is maintained by implementing restraints that are specified in the policy. [ 13 ] . Constrained RBAC adds separation of responsibility ( SoD ) relation to the RBAC theoretical account. SoD is a universally adept rule that helps to forestall fraud and mistakes by guaranting that “ no person is given sufficient authorization within the system to commit fraud on his ain ” ( Sandhu 1990 ) [ 14 ] .

RBAC is to the full dedicated individuality direction system which enables to guarantee all entree control to peculiar operation to the objects in the system. How of all time, its security policy has trusted issues which can be encapsulated with some other technique of individuality direction such as bio-metric individuality, smart or e-card solution which uses PKI incorporate RSA engineering. Therefore, MPS should hold a RBAC solution in order to supply best public presentation of the system of it members or staffs to entree system ‘s records and function which has hallmark enable.

A finger print is the form of minutiae, ridges and furrows on outside of a fingertip. These forms are alone and lasting unless it cuts or buries [ 3 ] [ 4 ] . Each and every finger is holding different print tips. Finger print is one of the mature engineerings used in designation since twentieth century in forensic [ 4 ] . A fingerprint based personal hallmark system operated in two different manners: Registration and hallmark ( fig.1 ) . During registration, authorized user seeks for an hallmark by utilizing a “ fingerprint detector ” which acquired a fingerprint and relevant information are extracted by the characteristic of extractor. These characteristics are stored in a database, entirely with user information those are necessary for allowing the service ; after supplying information ( input ) system efforts to fit it with the information which is already stored in the database. If calculated similarity mark between provided input and database information is greater than threshold, system determines that the topic is who claim to be and offer the service otherwise will fling the petition. On the hallmark manner, the user presents his fingerprint merely without his ID and the system may either be able to find the individuality for the topic or make up one’s mind the individual is non enrolled in the database [ 4 ] .

Developing a computational theoretical account of face acknowledgment is rather hard, because faces are complex, multidimensional and meaningful ocular stimulation. They are a natural category of objects and stand in stark contrast to sine wave grates [ 8 ] . Face acknowledgment research has increased in last a decennary because of its application demand such as designation for jurisprudence enforcement and hallmark for entree in security channel such as bank, insurance, fiscal organisation and authorities service [ 9 ] . One of the universe renowned face acknowledgment techniques is eigenface.

Harmonizing to our MPS instance survey we have seen that current MPS is utilizing multiple digital individuality direction system, which is an operating expense for system decision maker and high hazard involve in entree control for each single operation of entree to maintain history. Since Police staffs move from one topographic point to another location by delegating particular undertaking. However, By utilizing multiple individuality it is really of import concern of internal security hazard if any staff is off the responsibility and entree the system ( of class external hazard high ) . I will show few proficient and security issue of utilizing multiple and biological individuality.

In by and large multiple digital individuality users largely use traditional security systems such as watchwords, PINs, Keys, cards or combination of both. A general job with PINs, watchword is, it is complex and this complexness makes it hard to retrieve by users, another job with it is, its place the card instead than a user. In other words, if a individual knows the PIN associated with card or watchword associated with card, that individual may non be the existent individual of the card proprietor. The following table 2. Shows some feature of traditional individuality attacks [ 16 ] :

Our culture makes us who we are as it is the predominant influence in our society. One’s culture plays an important role in shaping the principles of an individual’s life. The cultural values of an individual have a deep impact on their attitude towards life. However, some cultures have gender inequality and their beliefs clash with law and superstitions, and so impair our identity. Imagine being female and not being entitled to have a say. Imagine you are not allowed to discipline your child the way you want and you believe in superstitions which are passed down from generation to generation in your culture.

The laws make it clear that physical discipline is not a necessary nor acceptable part of parenting as it undermines a child’s feelings of safety, but in many cultures discipline provides a secure environment for both children and adults and ensures positive outcomes as children grow up. According to section 59 of the New Zealand Crimes Act, the use of force for correction is strictly forbidden. New Zealand is among a growing number of countries, around the world, having a legal ban on the use of physical punishment of children. However, this law clashes with some cultural disciplinary procedures.

Usually migrants, such as Indians, use methods such as lightly hitting their children for not respecting their elders or talking back to their parents. If this is carried out in New Zealand, then even an otherwise good parent risks arrest by Police. This interferes with all New Zealanders rights to raise their children in a way that suits their culture. Different cultures have various ways of disciplining their children but by living in New Zealand, they have to change the way their children are being brought up and thus, in the long run, will cause their children to lose ethical values and forget their cultural identity.

Superstitious tendencies are acquired early from our culture and those around us, while we are growing up. Superstitions are part of our heritage and remind us of the past which links us with the roots of our culture. The Indian culture has a large number of superstitions and sometimes people are forced to move, to get their daughters released from the clutches of old beliefs. It is rather strange that in India, even educated people believe in such superstitions.

While some see this cultural exchange as a way to broaden perspectives, others contend that globalization is chiefly permitting a homogenization of culture-and one that is dominated by Western, primarily American, marketing. That is, many hitherto secluded cultures in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East are being opened up to American goods and businesses. American food chains such as McDonald’s can be found in nearly all parts of the globe, and American retail franchises are popping up in regions where thirty years ago they would have been unknown.

Advertisements for Nike shoes or Coca-Cola are commonplace in foreign locales, and along with their temptation to buy a product is the invitation to buy into an Americanized lifestyle that values consumption. Many critics of globalization see this push to expand American markets and values as a form of -one that seeks to suppress foreign cultures in order to make more of the globe open to American products and the ideas that would encourage their continued dominance. The perceived loss of indigenous traditions and values is disheartening for those who feel that globalization is a threat to cultural diversity.

In conclusion, culture is pre-eminent in our society as it moulds us into characters deemed to be acceptable and it helps in rendering a sense of individualism to people. However, we do not have to accept some of the beliefs and faiths reinforcing gender inequality and superstitions which impair our identity. Such cultural beliefs should be disregarded and while this transformation holds its dangers, it is a trial every individual must face and one they must win to take their place in society.

Technology should make our lives easier but unfortunately complications happen. Identity theft such as credit card fraud is a problem that many people have encountered. Identity theft is committed by people that we know. “… According to the FTC’s 2003 survey of identity theft, about 14 percent of victims claim to know the perpetrator” (Combating Identity Theft, 2007). Individuals or groups that are involved in identity theft find it to be a lucrative endeavor because they can easily gain monetary and material assets as well as medical and tax benefits.

Also, identity thieves gain access to crucial information and enact illegal activities by going over unshredded confidential documents, engaging in the misuse of private information acquired at the work place, changing someone else’s address deliberately and indiscreetly to intercept confidential mail, stealing wallet and laptops that contain sensitive information, and obtaining information through hacking, illegal software, phising, pretexting and skimming. Loss of funds and credit violations can cause an unsuspecting person to feel helpless, frustrated and angry.

Laws such as Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act (18 USC 1028), Aggravated Identity Theft (18 U. S. C. 1028A) and (18 U. S. C. 1029) still remains to be ineffective. This is because obtaining and retaining investigators, rotating schedule of detectives, difficult process of training an investigator, existing multiple jurisdictions, and the complex nature of tracking an identify theft makes it a persistent problem. Identity thieves seem like they want easy money without putting in constant and consistent work.

To begin such an operation, there are some people who intentionally go over people’s trash in the hopes of finding documents that will reveal credit card information, Social Security number and other related information (Identity Theft: How it Happens, 2000). Also, “[d]ishonest employees can obtain SSN’s [Social Security Numbers] in the workplace by obtaining access to personnel files or accessing credit reporting data bases” (Identity Theft: How it Happens, 2000). In addition, a change of address is instituted by the identity theft to receive mails containing valuable information (Identity Theft: How it Happens, 2000).

Likewise, the conventional way of obtrusively gathering information also takes place. Instances of stolen wallet or purse are not uncommon (Identity Theft: How it Happens, 2000). “The thief either uses the information obtained or provides the contents to a crime ring” (Identity Theft: How it Happens, 2000). Also, devices like laptops and other portable equipments are taken to acquire vital information that will help an identity thief accomplish his desires (Combating Identity Theft, 2007). Similarly, electronic pilfering of important files occurs. Hackers
