Question:

Why is it difficult to escape community identity?

Options:

It is voluntary in nature

It is conditional

Emotional attachment

To learn community norms takes long time and therefore is difficult to forget

Correct Answer:

Emotional attachment

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3: Emotional attachment

Community identity is often ascriptive, meaning we are born into it — such as caste, religion, or ethnicity — and it forms a deep part of our sense of self. What makes it difficult to escape is the emotional attachment people develop over time, as these identities provide a sense of belonging, history, and security.
