Answer 1

Answer: Ethnic identity

Explanation:

Ethnic identity refers to how an individual associate and classify themselves under a particular Ethnic group. This brings a sense of belonging to that individual. Foreclosure is the first stage in which a person is not exploring their identity, moratorium is when they begin to explore their ethnic identity, last one is when they have finally achieved it through exploration.

The struggle of trying to explore ones own identity occurs within those who belong into ethnic minority groups.

Identifying with a particular Ethnic group may be challenging for those who haven't really embraced their uniqueness in such that they accept others irrespective of whatever others feel towards them.
