IDENTIFYING YOURSELF TO A SPECIFIC ACTOR IN THE THREE IDIOTS MOVIE BUILDING AND NEGOTIATING SELF – IDENTITY IN A SOCIAL CONTEXT

In our group, we commonly agree to choose to identify ourselves in the character of Raju, the second Idiots in the movie because we have seen some of his characteristics to us. Raju, has a personality combinations of being Extroverted, Intuitive, Feeling and Judging (ENFJ). Based from the movie, he portrayed to be warm, empathetic, responsive and responsible. He is highly attuned to the emotions, needs, and motivations of others. He finds potential in everyone, wants to help others fulfill their potentials. He is sociable, facilitates others in a group. These were justified when he is emotionally moved to Rancho when he rushed his father to the hospital and when Virus rusticated him from college. He is loyal and responsive when his Director asked him to reveal who he was with, the last night. In terms of building and negotiating Raju’s self-identity in a social context he is into, the following were the analysis made: a) Raju formed his reflective self-identity such as cultural identity and ethnic identity through socialization process. These identities shape his thinking, emotions, and communication patterns, so in order to understand a person and communicate with him we need to understand his background as quoted by Nico Vink, “As social beings, we become ourselves in communicating with others”; b) Raju’s negotiate himself by his anxieties. Anxiety can signal to individuals that a person poses a threat to their enduring beliefs about themselves; and lastly, c) Raju negotiate his self-identity by linking all of his identities to underlying concerns about competence and connectedness, or by imbuing the different identities with a similar affective tone. However, despite those identity negotiations of Raju he was still be able to build up himself in a more positive and confident manner as influenced by his personal experiences in the family, school as threatened by his Director and his two friends in the story.
