How do children determine which identity becomes paramount as they
grow into adolescence and early adulthood? Which identity results
in patterns of behaviour as they develop? To whom or to which group
do they feel a sense of belonging? How might children, adolescents
and young adults negotiate the gap between their own sense of
identity and the values promoted by external influences? The
contributors explore the impact of globalization and pluralism on
the way most children and adolescents grow into early adulthood.
They look at the influences of media and technology that can be
felt within the living spaces of their homes, competing with the
religious and cultural influences of family and community, and
consider the ways many children and adolescents have developed
multiple and virtual identities which help them to respond to
different circumstances and contexts. They discuss the ways that
many children find themselves in a perpetual state of shifting
identities without ever being firmly grounded in one, potentially
leading to tension and confusion particularly when there is
conflict between one identity and another. This can result in
increased anxiety and diminished self-esteem. This book explores
how parents, educators and social and health workers might have a
raised awareness of the issues generated by plural identities and
the overpowering human need to belong so that they can address
associated issues and nurture a sense of wholeness in children and
adolescents as they grow into early adulthood.
