2.6. Social Identity Tajfel (1979:31) affirms that social identity is generatedin a world where processes of unification anddiversification are occurring with giant steps, faster thanever in history. Hogg and Abrams (1988: 78) argue that persons have abasic necessity to simplify and order reality, where thecategorization of the social environment is elaboratedby social comparison, basically to improve self-esteem. Social representation of gender is specifically chargedwith stereotypes, to be weak, incapable, dependent andvulnerable. These are social categories that are rich andcomplex in a symbolic system that has been sociallyand dialogically constructed (Habermas, 1998, 2000,2001). Both are part of an inalienable collective life,enriched by ideologies, rites, beliefs and daily practices.
