existentialism and identity formation
Existentialism refers to a philosophical theory that emphasizes the individual's freedom and responsibility in creating meaning and purpose in their own life. It explores questions about existence, human nature, and the importance of personal choice. Identity formation, on the other hand, refers to the process through which individuals develop a sense of self and construct their own unique identity by integrating various personal, social, and cultural factors. It involves understanding one's values, beliefs, and goals, and is influenced by experiences, relationships, and societal norms.
