Who are you and why?

 Who are You and Why

How does each person become a kind or type of personality, identity, and subjectivity. Parental and cultural primary socialization is an ascribing and inscribing process based on the real social and economic circumstances of the family. Internalization is not merely the sensing of experiences and rudimentary understanding and judging resulting in externalized behaviors. There is a socio-economic structure in addition to parent/filiation techniques, disciplinary regimen/scheduling and learning during the early years which inscribes political orientations including political attitudes about gender, race and economic class. The parent’s fantasies and plans are not about their child’s purpose in life but about their own status and identity! Socio-economic circumstances apply financial pressures and specific types of social interactions which inform the expectations and skills learned during childhood. 

Schooling and culture inscribes upon our personality or self the stigmas, symptoms and anticipations of how and where we fit or do not fit with others. Although these are possibly values, they may operate as social norms and emotional patterns of response.

The ascribing and inscribing process upon our body and self - the requirements others force us to abide by or are resisted - at the bottom of all the fighting - leads to the ‘why’ each of us are who we are. What a person is in terms of abilities and expectations requires an extended description of their relationship to the social structures and social machines of sexuality, race and economic class position.
