Do we have the freedom to be who we want to be? How much of our identity can we say is truly our choice? Numerous theories assert that our social structures decide who we are and therefore deprive us of the power to choose what we wish to be. Great theorists like Georg Simmel argue that our social networks best explain who we are. To a large extent, it is difficult to separate how you behave from your social network. This article seeks to investigate the claim that our social structures are actually responsible for who we are. Simmel argues that the more diverse a group is, the more a person changes and becomes unique. He argues that although the groups contain people with different personalities, they are the same. This means that the groups are similar in shape. This is because when groups that have the same shape and dynamic eventually break up, they evolve and become similar (Simmel, 301). This means that within a group there are individuals who perform roles of a similar nature to those in other groups. For example, a manager of a company plays the same role as a captain in a football team. Although the tasks and role definitions are different, their function is the same. This is because both the manager and the captain provide leadership and inspiration to other members of the group. According to Simmel, this definition of roles affects a larger group. This is because there is competition for the position. This leads to the division of the large group into smaller groups in which members feel more represented. This is because once positions and roles within the group become defined, members feel inferior and the problem of inequality arises (Simmel, 302). In terms of individuality Simmel argues that the individual ... in the center of the card ... .ar, could be the bad girl, the richest among them, the intelligent one and perhaps the slut. When these girls move to other groups, they tend to take on the same roles assigned to them even when they are older. That's because a group like this is usually small, cohesive, and solely aimed at keeping outsiders at bay. Georg Simmel demonstrates that individuality is difficult to separate from group dynamics. This is because humans must interact with others in groups. Within groups the person discovers his own individuality, but only in the context of the group. The extent to which one discovers one's individuality depends on the size of the group. If a group is large an individual is more likely to develop a sense of individuality. In a small cohesive group it is more difficult to separate the values ​​of the individual from those of the group.
