Dual identity is seen as practicing both of your parents customs and traditions for example white/Indian, with my case I describe it based on my Tswana and Christianity beliefs where I learn from. In this piece I will consider Tswana oral tradition and Seventh-day Adventist church teachings of Christian behaviour and duties as both my primary and secondary beliefs. These beliefs shaped my life from birth, during puberty even now they still persuade my behaviour as a responsible and accountable young adult.
First of all, the Tswana oral tradition as my primary beliefs helped with my cognitive and body development. The folklores, praise songs and Proverbs Tswana elders shared challenged our minds to solve problems and apply the archetypes behaviour/morals from the folklores. After a (child) newborn delivery, elders perform rituals which are meant to protect the child throughout their life and also helps in their body development. Therefore the oral tradition helped me with learning at school and interacting with the society.
The second belief I consider is the Seventh-day Adventist church teachings of the body as a temple of the holy spirit. Most of the Adventist members are vegetarians, they're not drinking alcohol nor smoke. This belief shaped my healthy lifestyle as I consider my body as a temple of the holy spirit and it also keeps me away from toxic, manipulative or unhealthy relationships. It enabled me to help others improve their lifestyles, teach them about responsibility and accountability and support them instead of judging them.
In conclusion my dual identity has contributed in how I see the world, interact with others and make the impact within the society. The results includes peace in the society and personal growth. This is displayed by people abstaining from recreational substances which causes distraction in the society after communicating and encouraging with them. It has also motivated my feminist traits as I believe in equality, as the same as the one that God provides us with.
