"Final Draft"
I don't really think we as human beings ever stop evolving when it comes to our identities. I know for example, the more I learn, the more my views change about my surroundings; thus, effecting who I am. We never stop learning, which I feel plays a critical role in defining who we are. It's a fast-paced world, where information and technology is ever-changing, and I feel people nowadays have to keep up with this, causing changes in how we think on a daily basis. I also feel that as we mature, we tend to change our views based on how we percieve the adult world; moving from adolescence to adulthood is the biggest transformation. Again, returning to knowledge as the catalyst for such changes. We may have a generic set of characteristics, but when it comes to certain ideosyncracies and taste, we are constantly shifting our views and opinions. The metaphor "final draft" suits my argument further; you can work on a paper for a so long, and get it to a point of completion, but in reality, there is so much more you could change about it...it's never really finish, and the same holds true for identity. So, when it comes down to it, we never really have a set "final draft" of ourselves.
