Identity Formation in a Multicultural Society: A Social Science Perspective

Abstract

Identity formation in multicultural societies is a complex phenomenon influenced by various social, cultural, and psychological factors. This article examines the process of identity formation within the context of multiculturalism, drawing upon insights from the social sciences. By synthesizing existing research and theoretical frameworks, this paper seeks to illuminate the dynamics of identity construction in diverse social contexts. Key themes explored include cultural hybridity, socialization processes, and the role of intergroup relations in shaping individual and collective identities.
