Summary/Abstract: Work starting from the conceptual distinction of identity (such as diversity) and personality (as otherness), is trying to explain the dynamism of modern society by the phenomenon of producing identity as an instrument of social control. While the identity forms an organizational basis of each order, the personality by its autonomy forms a subversive political resources on a global scale. Hence, strategies, policies and models of identity as segments of social identity protection, want to break up personality and to substitute it with identity.
