Your Identity

Elvin Roperto Professor G whollyers side 101 February 16, 2012 Youre Identity Back in the day, few wondered round their ancestors. The majority of people thought they knew all ab reveal their ancestors history. Who they were, their nationality, and their native language. But today in society many are shocked to find out that their ancestor history or retiring(a) isnt true at all because of DNA genealogy. If you thought that your ancestors were Puerto Rican and they actually turned out to be Mexican. Would you freak out? Would you ready to wobble your ways?Would you change your traditions? A genealogical DNA rise examines the nucleotides in specific locations on a persons DNA to find out where a persons ancestor comes from. The test results are non meant to have any medical information and the test results do not determine genetic diseases or disorders. They are only intended to leave behind genealogical information. To take a genealogical DNA test all you have to do is a pain less cheek-scrapping at your home and ship the sample to a genetic genealogy laboratory for testing.There are a few types a test you can use, but the most favourite tests are the Y chromosome test and the mitochondrial DNA test. These tests can determine where your ancestors originated from. I dis fit in, just because a test tells you where you came from doesnt mean you have to change anything about yourself. Your Identity isnt based on your family trees past. Its based on everything we see, feel, hear, taste, smell, and read. Every person you meet, every chat you have, every event in your life, and the way you interpret all sights, sounds, tastes, smells, actions, and events, order up who you are as a human being.And nothing in the world should change that, not even your ancestors past. On the other hand, can you define yourself as a person without your nationality? How untold of who is you are based on your nationality? Can your nationality be a discontinue of your soul? A p ersons nationality says much about their culture outlook on life, the way they conduct their lives aspirations, and relationships. The way you act, talk, feel can be a result from your nationality. So maybe its possible that you an potentially dawdle yourself because of believing in something that you are not. In general, I can agree with Harmon. Knowing your nationality can make you understand a bit more about your Identity whether in a positive or blackball way Overall, DNA genealogy should not change who you are, even though nationality is a big part of your Identity. If you do find out youre from a different country, you can try to change some of your traditions and ethnic views but youll still be you. Work Cited http//en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Genealogical_DNA_test
