Civil identity describes collective features of an individual's ethnicity, political views, race, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, and disabilities. It serves as a baseline for comparisons in social sciences. Civil identity establishes an individual's sense of belonging within broader social groups. Key components of civil identity include ancestry, national origin, religion, race, color, age, sex, familial status, marital status, and source of income. Civil identity varies across multicultural societies due to evolving psychology, community health issues, and underlying political factors.
