Without confirmation of one's prestige through behaviours, this prestige is nothing. The immense value attached to the demonstration of prestige and the observance of etiquette does not betray an attachment to externals, but to what was vitally important to individual identity!!! Why isn't there prestige when there is no social validation??
In short, people smarter than I, have argued that, the human identity as it exists in its current state, is fragmented due to a variety of forces from our social environment!! Is it ever possible to pry ourselves away from conformity???!!!!
