Undisputedly, social identity has a psychological dimension. However, in the sociological imagination, Wright Mills explains that ‘neither the life of an individual nor the history of society can be understood without understanding both’ (Mills, 1959). Therefore, when exploring social identity it is vital to assess the social and cultural factors that shape an individual in the milieu that it is fashioned in the contemporary society. This means that, we must look at both the power the individual has to exercise agency and the structure, or society into which they are born; the society, which already exist.
