Description
  • Identity formation is timeless and so intertwined with an individual's growth that scholars and sociologists have been arguing about its formation and efficacy in an individual's life. One feels it's not only a post-natal phenomenon, but a pre-natal one as well. Its hard to imagine any woman, much before she conceives, not beginning to think of her child's identity- usually by what she would want her child to be like - isn't that %22identity%22. Such is the ubiquitousness of identity formation in a human being's life that this formation goes through many phases in its quest for identification. The school that an individual goes to, the community that she belongs to, do shape the identity of that individual. Sometimes this identity formation is initiated, and sometimes a natural corollary to an individual's development. By nature, some individuals try to be recognized in the community they belong to, not by how prosperous they are but by their capability. Such a feeling is rampant amongst developed societies where communities until now were oblivious of the %22shrinking%22 world - the global village. Communities where globalization remained a far cry are feeling the pressure and so are the individuals belonging to such communities. In this context, proficiency in a foreign language in such communities helps in identity formation. This was established to a great degree in a research carried out by the authors of this paper.
