On Social Identity

Social identity is a common sense and sense of identity which formed by differences in social life and practice. On the individual, the individual is eligible to obtain group, affirm a collective identity, form a sense of belonging of a real or spiritual community, or individual accepts values and cultural traditions, and shared values and cultural traditions with others, forming a sense of mutual meaning; for the group, it is a affirmance of common identity and an acceptance of shared values. social identity is secerned with self-identification, ideology, social beliefs and recognition and so on.From the perspective of social epistemology, social identity is characterized by the opposition and the unification groups of shared meaning and shared identity, intersubjectivity and the unity of individuality, identity content and composition of the unity of unity in diversity, subjectivity and objectivity of unity。Starting from Marxist practice philosophy and people learning to understand and master the social identity proposition, understand the perspective of social identity and the nature, function and impact for human development.Comparison with the history of philosophy of social identity formation methods such as the value of the Clarification, social contract, emotional well known to intersubjectivity and understanding, Marxist philosophy grasp the physical interaction which is behind the social identity, locate the source of the social identity and the formation of way in the social practice, considering that practice construct our fundamental sense of social identity itself.At the same time, social identity also affects the practice with feedback, expression, norms and guidance functions. Starting from the Marx school of social identity we can be clearly able to promote human nature and human social relations and indicate individual socialization process. The historical evolution of social identity and human development is closely related, on the one hand the development of human society identity is closely linked in human relations and even depends on the the degree of development of the relationship between man and nature.On the other hand the various stages of social identity also has distinctive characteristics of the stage which indicate human is a real historical existence and creation. The realization of the ideal social identity depends on that individuals and groups, complementary, interdependent and mutually generated dialectical relationship.The social identity explanation form the modern eye shot accounts for the conversion process of social identity transformed from the traditional to the modern situation Modernity brings not only crisis to social identity, in fact, the modern contradiction deduct its multiple effects on the social identity:identity fragmentation and the disintegration of ultimate value identity co-exist; group ascription choice has autonomy in some extent, but be subjected to new forces with repression and restrictions; in the modernity background, new social development lever such as system, capital and technology has a complex impact on social identity.The typical form of the social identity in space conversion case depends on the situation of the social identity in background of globalization and virtual technological applications.First, the social identity in the context of globalization.Globalization full of contradictions is not only failed to eliminate identification problems, but diverser and intricater than ever:global total identity and local identity intertwined with the struggle; the "dynamic" of the social identity and the relative stability of subject agreeing on the modern co-exist; in the process of globalization human social identity has an positive and negative double-sided effect on human, nation-states and individuals.As the virtual community is not the same reality, virtual may be simulation and docking reality, it also could be subversion and conflict of reality, the virtual identity has its own characteristics:outstanding autonomy, interaction, and diversity; generated non-linear and conflicting results; distinct oppositional impact and effect.The basic elements affected the formation and change of virtual social identity are from the nation, network media, technology companies and individuals, to enhance the rationality of the virtual social identity is the enhancement of the integrated path of nation, network media, technology companies and individuals active role in the virtual world.There were some profound internal contradictions to achieve the rationality of social identity, the existence of these contradictions is universal. Improving the rationality of social identity depends on dialectical thinking on social identity certainty and uncertainty, the absolute and relative, individual and group social identity, the opposite and unitive rationality and irrationality, to find a reasonable balance point between their relations with specific measures, making overall plans and take all factors into consideration, to push on realizing reasonable social identity...
