Lost identity


Did any one of those big leaders and politician asked our generation, what is our main problem at this time, did any study or any project been established to ask what is the main issues with this generation , did any for any reason asked him self and between him and him self why there are people burning , demonstrating , protesting screaming ,,, etc

And if there are , what was the question asked and the answers?

I didn't stop asking my self and judging my generation about many issue, and I discovered that our main issue is we are lost in discovering or dealing with out identity, we can't live with what ever we are suppose to do and what we want to do, we can't survive in this world with what did they told us , and with the system applied and rules we have to follow.

We can't just be Muslims and civilian , there are a big debate I wish others can look at it, I wish those big leaders can understand the new world with different point of view, that those speech which is been transfer since 1400 years may not be applicable at this time

In this era, what they call it " identity Era" that all the identities start to appear and growing up, strongly , by the power of blood or religion, and our identity didn't change, it’s the same, same speech with the same fundamental its been used, we are asked to keep our past as a holy things, but the new era doesn't give a shit about pasts

I can describe or explain or highlight our generation issue is with the identity, can we understand our identity and can we change it, can we just have another view of the identity?

I am not sure I understood what is meant by 'this is an "Identity Era" and that 'identities start to appear and growing up, strongly , by the power of blood or religion, and our identity didn't change, it’s the same, same speech with the same fundamental its been used, we are asked to keep our past as a holy things.........."

Our ancestors had 'identities' for the past six or seven thousands years. They fought, shed blood defending whatever they thought were their 'core identities'. They even wrote poems celeberating them. They too though those identities were eternal. But the are not.
Instead of focusing on the 'mystry of entity' I prefer to look at identity politics. i.e, how identities are mobilised or even forged and invented in order to realise interest and/or maintain power.

Thanks for your comments, how ever i am not blaming our ancestors as much as i don't think its good to go back to what we were , i am just thinking that we need to understand the change and what we should or implement in our identity, i don't think that we need only identity politics to be reviewed as much as we need all of our identity to be reviewed
