why we need an cultural identity ?
because, other people will recognize us from what communities we belong to, and it contributes to a persons's overall well being.
Cultural identity is an important contributor to people’s wellbeing.
Identifying with a particular culture helps people feel they belong and
gives them a sense of security. An established cultural identity has
also been linked with positive outcomes in areas such as health and
education.
It provides access to social networks, which provide support and shared
values and aspirations. Social networks can help to break down barriers
and build a sense of trust between people, a phenomenon sometimes
referred to as social capital.
However, strong cultural identity expressed in the wrong way
can contribute to barriers between groups. And members of smaller
cultural groups can feel excluded from society if others obstruct, or
are intolerant of, their cultural practices.
