Identity refers to diversity as it includes individuals or a groups perception on what they see from an identity which could form part of their social circle and this part of my essay will discuss various theories from Erving Goffman (1959) and Jonathan Raban after his visit to New York to support how some identities have impacted negatively within our society whether this is included or excluded.
