The pandemic of global rage has its roots in the manner in which we construct identity. Although this book concentrates primarily upon national identity, the processes remain more or less the same for all levels of identification. Individual identity is constructed with an eye to the relevant reference groups in a person’s life: “Identity is a phenomenon that emerges from a dialectic between the individual and society.”1 Reference groups change depending upon the relevant contexts in which one participates at any given time. Individuals may be in contact with several reference groups, each providing separate messages about their identities. Thus, “people have levels of identity” so that a resident of Rome is at once “a Roman, an Italian, a Catholic, a European, a Westerner.”2
