Identification

Question 1

Identification Negative Example:

(The root of the word ‘identity’ is ‘idem’, meaning “the same.” No two things are ever exactly the same in all respects, so no two things can be identical. No one thing is even the same from moment to moment. Therefore, identification is abstract, resulting from the deletion of distinctions. Example words: is, am, are, an, was, were, be, being, been, like, etc.)
