Answer:
Identity is synonymous with self-image. A person's identity is formed throughout life because it consists of many different characteristics. Both those we choose and those we can not influence. According to a constructivist view of identity, identity is created continuously in interaction with its surroundings. An extreme constructivist view that sees everything as socially constructed and does not allow for individual choices and expressions, is usually called deterministic.
This individual identity can be transferred to larger groups, becoming a social identity that encompasses a group of individuals with common historical, cultural and traditional characteristics.
After Douglass escaped, he wanted to promote freedom for all slaves. He published a newspaper in Rochester, New York, called The North Star. It got its name because slaves escaping at night followed the North Star in the sky to freedom. Douglass's goals were to "abolish slavery in all its forms and aspects, promote the moral and intellectual improvement of the COLORED PEOPLE, and hasten the day of FREEDOM to the Three Millions of our enslaved fellow countrymen." How else did Douglass promote freedom?
