The Five Letters of Trie

Theory of social identity theory says that who i am has got two components and they interact in a very dynamic and variable way. One component is my self as an individual so me when i'm on my own which is perhaps driven by my personality, DNA or early life experiences. But we also need to recognize that we're highly social animals and that actually our sense of self is very dynamic and it changes. We often talk about athletes being selfish that they're pursuing their own goals but in certain circumstances when they belong to a strong team those goals are the team's goals because they think of themselves first and foremost as a member of that team.
