Group Identity Quotes

A group needs enemies, because without enemies its identity cannot continue to be defined Picture Quote #1

To me, a person’s identity is composed of both an ‘I’ and a ‘we.’ The ‘I’ finds itself in love, work, and pleasure, but it also locates itself within some meaningful group identity - a tribe, a community, a ‘we.’ America is too big and bland a tribe for most of us Picture Quote #1

The combat environment has the effect of flattening out civilian identities. If you’re young or old, or a graduate from Harvard or the son of a farmer from Alabama, or if you’re gay or straight or good-looking or ugly: none of those things matters much in combat, as long as you can conform to the group expectations Picture Quote #1

It’s true that I run a multi-national group but I have no interests in India. So please tell me, what should my identity be? Picture Quote #1

Identity politics are wearisome; you don’t want to go on speaking for any one group as a writer Picture Quote #1

The growing child must derive a vitalizing sense of reality from the awareness that his individual way of mastering experience (his ego synthesis) is a successful variant of a group identity and is in accord with its space-time and life plan Picture Quote #1

By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so called ‘diversity’ actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist Picture Quote #1

America gave the world the notion of the melting pot - an alchemical cooking device wherein diverse ethnic and religious groups voluntarily mix together, producing a new, American identity. And while critics may argue that the melting pot is a national myth, it has tenaciously informed the America’s collective imagination Picture Quote #1

The thing is that, they all had real strong personalities and real distinct identities, and I don’t find most of the groups that are coming out now really do Picture Quote #1

Iraqi national identity under Saddam Hussein never truly incorporated Shiites or Kurds. Sunnis, who identified most closely with the Iraqi nation, remain in some ways disenfranchised relative to the other groups, or at least they perceive themselves that way Picture Quote #1

No other group in America has so had their identity socialized out of existence as have black women... When black people are talked about the focus tends to be on black men; and when women are talked about the focus tends to be on white women Picture Quote #1

One’s worth and self-regard ought to come from individual competitive performance, not from group identity. Pride based on clan or tribal connections is atavistic. It appeals to people who fear they cannot succeed as individuals, and by diverting their energies it all but ensures they will not succeed as individuals Picture Quote #1

Like any group that has endured much, African Americans have created a strong and mutually reinforcing sense of group identity. That’s not a bad thing in and of itself Picture Quote #1

Maybe we’ve been brainwashed by 130 years of Yankee history, but Southern identity now has more to do with food, accents, manners, music than the Confederate past. It’s something that’s open to both races, a variety of ethnic groups and people who move here Picture Quote #1

Everyone desires relationships and community. Most people want to belong to a cohesive, like-minded group. It staves off loneliness. It promotes identity. These are natural and very human instincts Picture Quote #1

Utopianism also attempts to shape and dominate the individual by doing two things at once: it strips the individual of his uniqueness, making him indistinguishable from the multitudes that form what is commonly referred to as ‘the masses,’ but it simultaneously assigns him a group identity based on race, ethnicity, age, gender, income, etc., to highlight differences within the masses Picture Quote #1

I rebel at the notion that I can’t be part of other groups, that I can’t construct identities through elective affinity, that race must be the most important thing about me. Is that what I want on my gravestone: Here lies an African American? Picture Quote #1

We all construct worldviews that give us a sense of meaning. Mostly it is about belonging to a group and having a sense of identity and purpose Picture Quote #1

With artists of my own generation there was at first no group identity - and never a clique Picture Quote #1

Southerners are also like ethnic groups in that they have a sense of group identity Picture Quote #1

Conformity is the only real fashion crime. To not dress like yourself and to sublimate your spirit to some kind of group identity is succumbing to fashion fascism Picture Quote #1

Unlike sharing, where the group is mainly an aggregate of participants, cooperating creates group identity Picture Quote #1
