Brief introduction to the dilemma of identity

Introduction to Identity Dilemma: Who am I? Who Are We? Who will define "we"? Who do we think they are? What is the basis for defining "them"? Whether in society, institutions and organizations, or in transnational space, everyone has multiple identities. In this sense, the vague concept of "Europe" is an excellent example of the intertwined identity factors.

Experience is partly determined by personal memory, but more importantly, it is determined by the so-called "collective memory" transmitted by family, school and media, and the influence of these transmissions casts various identities. The concept of identity affects the way human groups conceive and organize their future, that is, the way political affairs are organized. At the moment when the current identity problem is increasingly prominent, it is particularly valuable to think about this problem.

With the development of globalization, European integration and immigration, the issue of identity has become a hot topic, which is increasingly plaguing society, countries, nationalities, communities and individuals. The Dilemma of Identity is based on all kinds of doubts arising from the debate on this issue in Europe. It discusses the diversity and change of identity from the aspects of political identity, personal identity, collective identity, European identity and value identity, from which we can see some trends and deepen our understanding of European and American society and public opinion.
