The present article/text is written in the text on the search line that confirms the dual relationship between social representations and social identity, and suggests that the time has come to announce a happy conjunction (marriage) between social representations and social identity, based on a set of arguments, the first of which is that identity is a special social representation. ; It expresses the connection of individuals with the social world, and allows for action, whether individual or collective. This particular social representation has three aspects, the first of which is knowledge related to the self, the second of which is the confirmation of the various aspects and components of the self, and the third of which is the recognition of these components related to the self by others. Although individuals differ in constructing their identities, at the same time they have common elements (social representations) that allow them to behavior in an understandable and meaningful way.
