Relative Identity

Relative identity is the concept that the identity of an object can depend on the context or framework in which it is considered. For example, a person can be identified in different ways: as a parent, a colleague, or a friend. Each role emphasizes different aspects of their identity, which can change over time or in different situations. Therefore, two instances of the same object or person may be seen as equivalent in one context but different in another. This idea highlights that identity isn't fixed; it can shift based on relationships and circumstances.
