generationally consistent religious identity

Aka. G.C.R.I. or just generational consistency, When the religious beliefs of an individual match their parents, guardians, and or grandparent’s religious beliefs. The more generations from the same family who have the same beliefs, the stronger the generational consistency is.
Lynda: Hi. I’m Lynda. I noticed you are new to this temple, so I figured I would introduce myself.
Jordan: I’m Jordan. I just moved here from Detroit, Michigan. So how long have you been involved in this temple?
Lynda: I have been involved in this faith my whole life. I have generationally consistent religious identity. Four different generations of my family, previous to mine, have gone to this temple.

Jordan: That is a long line religious devotion in one family. Very impressive.
Lynda: Indeed, it is. Thanks.

Identity-giving

Treating someone in certain ways to give them an identity that is better or worse than the one they have.
After people's appearance, the next thing that comes into play when they interact is the identity each person has of themselves. As they interact, people project their identity and in subtle ways, verbally or nonverbally, others accept or reject it, and sometimes they attempt to give the other person the identity they think they should have of themselves, and that identity can be better or worse than the one the person has of themselves. An example of identity-giving is when one day, someone treats someone else as if they were a genius.

Racial Identity

A term that protects cultural assimilators when people speak out against them. Supposedly, defined as the race you feel the most connected to. A person who adopts a racial identity might begin to: speak stereotypically, dress in outdated/ stereotypical clothing, change their physical appearance artificially, or state that they want to be reborn into their racial identity. Typically, but not as the exception, adopters of a racial identity are White American teenagers. Certain laws have been put into place to make it harder to protect your own culture from them.

1: Wassup my Bruther?
2: Why are you talking like that?
1: Cus I'm Black. I just got my results back on 23 and me, and it turns out I'm 30% Northeastern African, so I wanted to embrace my Black culture.
2: Not all Africans are Black, and there are other ways to embrace your heritage.
1: Shut up! You don't understand. Being Black is my racial identity. I'm Black and I've always been Black, Now I just have proof!

identity transference

A marketing method that shifts the consumer's identity from the consumer to a product to get the consumer to buy it and love it.
Identity transference is a way that marketers distort reality by getting potential car buyers to come to feel that they can become the car they want to buy. After they buy it, they feel they are one with it, and happily spend money to maintain it in the best condition (sometimes better than themselves).
