Joining Social Croups for Self-identification
As primarily social animals, human beings naturally seek out different groups to which they feel they have a certain sense of belonging. But there are two different aspects of this issue involved: identifying oneself with a social group for its social implications and identifying oneself with a social group for internal needs. There is a natural dichotomy between the two sides of one’s personality that is usually displayed between the different types of social groups with which an individual may identify oneself.
Self-definition can be either honest or dishonest. A person may join a social group because he or she thinks that the people that belong to this type of group are the same as he or she, whether it is true or not. As one example, consider a person who grew up poor and poorly educated, but became wealthy through the luck of the lottery or an inheritance from an unknown but wealthy relative. This individual then joins a wine-tasting club and buys season tickets to the local Philharmonic Orchestra and opera house. Although this individual knows nothing about wine, orchestras or opera, he or she is seeking to identify himself or herself as a culturally literate person simply because the person is now wealthy. Through joining these social groups, the individual is seeking to define him or herself as socially elite.
On the other hand, there are individuals that very clearly demonstrate who they are by their identification with certain social groups. At a very basic level, younger people may join gangs based on a sense of identification with certain gang members or gang ideas. Certain religious groups also give a clear identity to their members. Joining an Islamic fundamentalist group such as the Taliban or an Orthodox Jewish organization indicates a certain identity that is common to all of its members. In all of these cases, an individual’s self-perception and how others view that individual are probably very similar. These types of organizations speak to a person’s very fundamental values and joining one is probably that person’s way of saying to the world "this is who I am".
All in all, it depends on the individual and the particular social group under discussion as to whether we primarily identify ourselves through association with social groups.
解析
本文层次分明,结构清晰。开头段落单刀直人地指出人们加入社会群体多半出于两方面考虑:社会意义和个人需要。正文部分分两段进行论述,涵盖了上述两个方面。第二段开头虽然没有逻辑连接词,但第三段的on the other hand已经说明了一切,有时这样看似“不合规矩”的写法反而更能给人地道的感觉。结尾段言简意赅,概括说明了加入社会群体与自我定位问的关系要分情况讨论。整篇文章抽象论点.与具体论据相结合,将抽象的题目以浅显的事实佐证,说理透彻,长短句搭配,用词精确,是一篇值得借鉴的好文章。
