The idea that human identities are shaped by the social norms, values, language, and structures of a particular society. The notion is centered on the belief that as humans, we are naturally inclined towards change and our ways of thinking and behaviours are highly influenced by our experiences and interactions with other members of a social unit. Identities, therefore, are not static; they are constantly evolving in response to changes in our physical environment.
