i am on minecraft(7 votes)- What makes us individuals is our uniqueness, our actions, and our choices. Traditions, cultures, personalities, styles, hobbies, and more. What makes us different is what makes us special. Despite differences being one reason we are individuals, our similarities can also define who we are. Our ability to support and understand ourselves and one another make us who we are, empathy is a big part of our life. We wouldn't be unique if we all were the same, but when we can't share similarities and we lack empathy due to not being similar at all, then would that really be better from being exactly the same? If everyone is completely different, unable to share any similarities, would being unique.. be unique at all? We need both similarities and differences to define ourselves as individuals. These important factors define who we are, and how we act not only by ourselves, but to others as well. That is the true part of being defined as an individual; being different, and similar.(6 votes)
