Identity is the way an individual is perceived and shows his individuality or association with a group. It can be defined as the unique attribute that belongs to any individual or is shared by people who belong to a specific social or ethnic group. People form their identities by identifying with people who are important to you such as your parents or siblings. Furthermore, individuals might form their identity based on their beliefs or values. Identity is influenced by various things and has changed a lot over time, space and situation. Furthermore, race/ethnicity, gender, and disability are of great importance to identity formation. We all know that identity is constructed and rational. Identity construction involves right or wrong, tainted or pristine, attractive or unattractive, and so on. These rules are subject to change even if they appear fixed.

However, a person with one or more disabilities could be identified by society as having a handicap, which constitutes a form of discrimination because this makes the person feel disadvantaged not only because of their disability, but because of culturally, economically constructed obstacles and socially. In conclusion, identity is what makes a person unique and creates who you are. Without it, an individual would have lost what distinguishes him from every other person and what makes him who he is.
