Question

Write any two features of community identity.

Answer 1

1. Community identity is based on birth and belonging rather than on some form of acquired qualifications or accomplishment.
2. This kind of identity is called ascriptive, i.e., they are determined by birth, and the individuals' choices are not involved.
3. People feel a deep sense of security and satisfaction in belonging to communities.
4. Ascriptive identities such as community identities are difficult to shake off; even if we choose to disown them, others may continue to identify us by those very markers of belonging.
