| | Identity(View Additional Sub-Topics) | | Identity refers to the way people see themselves; the groups they feel a part of, the significant aspects of themselves that they use to describe themselves to others. Identity issues underlie many very difficult conflicts, as identity is very deeply-rooted and non-compromisable. So perceived threats to one's identity make conflict inevitable.
