Many personal identities are things that you get to choose and that you are able to shape for yourself. Personal identities might determine whether or not you have a natural inclination to go in a certain personal direction.

Influence the experiences we have as members of any particular group. They are shaped by common history, shared experiences, legal and historical decisions, and day-to-day interactions. Can affect personal identities. For example, your social class may have a strong impact on the education you receive and the profession that you end up in.
