Actually, the scientific approach interesting is that the brain due to its capacity to store experience, takes on the "identity element" is.
That is, who has no memory, do not know who he / she is. On the other hand, we know the science, or ordinary people and that our brain does not store our experiences or information gaps. Man / woman can frequently at this or that simply do not remember. Or we know the story that 2 people together to remember a situation experienced "several", or to individual details "several" do not remember. Well, first as a nuisance if / woman takes up to an exam and can not remember the castle that the formula F = m * a would apply.
Forgetful, yes, but that one's identity at risk?
So, what could Happen if someone has an "identity crisis"?
Is this a matter of "inadequate" brain that suddenly can not remember large parts of life?
Or put differently: If someone writes a daily diary, so all can read what has happened over the years, therefore, never an identity crisis? Did this diary writing a more stable human identity?
I highly doubt that:) ... and also: Who writes in times of Facebook, Twitter & Co have a diary? But what could / woman to remember the thousands of short messages there? Or which identity is in ZwitscherInnen and / or face büchler inside, if, after a week not even remember anymore, what they have posted?
No problem, the computer and / or the Internet is a perfect support, the gaps in the brain as memory extenders on the jumps to help. No one needs more difficult in the diary read, but receives a memory, with a page by typing Keywort be haunted - Life logging, the (technical) recorded life, the computer that never forgets.
And in comparison to the diary, which was still possible lockable with a key that is shared in blogs and social networks, virtual life with others.
real?
If this sharing is not only a newsletter that serves their own self-promotion and narcissism?
Still ... the processes, including digital memory in virtual environments and social networks provide a way to find out who is man / woman.
identity is not a detached "" own product, "but is experienced in association with others. Experiences have an emotional character, is not nothing of good, funny, busy, happy, bad, etc. experiences spoken to the man / woman recalls happy or less happy. And when a man capable of learning in any manner, then he is out of memory to the "bad" experience try some future "better" to make or otherwise. Ie memory of the past influenced the action potential for the future.
is so mobile not our identity in perpetual motion between remembered experience and new possibilities for action to be discovered? In other ausgdrückt: Have we ever an identity that our lives are "identified" as does our passport or driving license?
A look at the 30-year-old photo in my driver's license just lets me "when I" know, but said even a car papers controlling police officer: "You should a new license = new identification down! "That is the photo shows that my identity has changed, even if the ad would only show at a different hairstyle.
And what about the "identity crisis"?
it does not break out if we wanted to nail down to an identity, which in emotional memory so "happy" in our mind's eye "hoisted"? Or
appeared to you when we socialize ourselves with people who try to dictate or less fixed identities of the superlatives of eternally young, agile, successful, happy?
identity seems to me remembered as a snapshot in a particular situation, such as a photo in the passport or driving license. A photo of me looks on vacation before the Buddha at Sri Lanka as completely different, and shows a completely different identity from me. In my memory, produced in the two photos, I get a sense for what puzzle pieces make up my personality. As many pieces of the puzzle would then live and integrate into a community to be, then - shows in my terminology authenticity:)
Tjaja so considered, identity is "only" a role that I in each play at a certain time games. And these roles have indeed not at all be inauthentic, oda?
should perhaps remind man / woman just how different roles have been taken "seriously" in order to be able to laugh about this now "Überindentifikation.
Yes, smile, it is an "identity crisis" but probably excluded ;))))
property, so I'm going to my role as writer and finish times to meet briefly my role as housewives. I stopped writing for the role of listener (Clientin), did not change my role as blogger and read my role as a networker I also read the emails between :)))))
