ABSTRACT: Identity is a state of reality, a construct we make of what we perceive. I understand by state of reality the moment of our existence in which we are being. We are the embodiment of society that provides us with the contexts from which we interpret what we perceive; we are also an existence of our own, in which we formalize reality from our particular point of view. We form at the same time a social identity, a personal identity, which are not opposed, but are inserted structurally from the construction we make of reality.
