Collective Moments: Social Identity
Art and Story by Jerome Ishikoro (theOtaku.com's The Mask)

1. Collectives sustain rather than undermine individuals' identities.
2. Collectives provide members with a self-concept derived from perceived membership of social groups.
3. Members tend to view their ingroup positively and view outgroups negatively.
4. Identity Affirmation - members who feel "lost" will try to re-establish their individual identities.
