According to recently changes in world, old approach to identity is changed and even paradigms changed. In recent decades a discourse return (cultural return) is occurred. Main reason is identity divisions in the world. But many sorts of identity divisions are possible by developing globalization phenomenon. In 20th century, discussions were about class divisions, but today's it is replaced by identity divisions such as ethnicity, extra-ethnicity, religion, sexual, and aging identity. On one hand globalization in cultural, political, and economic levels mean that nation-states was challenging by institutions and process of non-government, and the other hand class structures that established national politics is altered. Then concept of nation-state and class is changed and replaced by cultural concepts.

New social structures affect on identity feelings of groups, values and sorts of living rapidly is increasing due to mass media influence in any aspects of life and tend to consumption is increasing. Now, we observe cultural changes in societies because each ethnicity or groups try to expand its culture, values and reproduce them. However, attraction in hostage culture, now, is impossible by virtue of multi-culturalism in world through developing world communications. In beneath of these communications and relations, many cultures and norms are moved.

Americans have defined the substance of their identity in terms of race, ethnicity, ideology, and culture. Race and ethnicity are now largely eliminated: Americans see their country as a multiethnic, multiracial society (Huntington Samuel, 2004, 10) . Then the united states have to use symbols like flag and American values , freedom, democracy for reinforcing American national identity. Globalization undermined national identity. Huntington says, for example, globalization, multiculturalism, cosmopolitanism, immigration, sub-nationalism, and anti-nationalism had battered American consciousness. Ethnic, racial, and gender identities came to the force.

National identity affects on external and internal policies and national interests. We have to know who are we before we can know what our interests are, because national interests derive from national identity (Huntington Samuel, 2004, 10).

Crisis of national identity have become a global phenomenon. The more general causes include the emergence of a global economy, tremendous improvements in communications and transportation, rising levels of migration, the global expansion of democracy, and the end of the cold war and of soviet communism as a viable economic and political system (Huntington Samuel, 2004, 13)

Following these changes, people look for alternative options like local, regional, and sub-national identities. Huntington argued that sub-national cultural and regional identities are taking precedence over broader national identities. People identify with those who are most like themselves and with whom they share a perceived common ethnicity, religion, traditions, and myth of common decent and common history (Huntington Samuel, 2004, 13).

“The twenty-first century, however, is dawning as a century of religion. Virtually everywhere, apart from Western Europe, people are turning to religion for comfort, guidance, solace, and identity. Violence between religious groups is proliferating around the world. People are increasingly concerned with the fate of geographically remote co-religionists. In many countries powerful movements have appeared attempting to redefine the identity of their country in religious terms”, (Huntington Samuel, 2004, 15).

European and American countries confronted to postmodern situation has consequences for policies. Traditional social movements converted, and divisions based on new systems or different frameworks occurred, that shaped new conflicts. Imperialism and imperialistic divisions replaced by religious movement and battle with west culture in Islamic world. In objective demonstrations against conferences, different spectrums of groups attend with diverse goals. Thus in this century, we can't analyze or interpret social problems according to traditional concepts of political sociology like class, party, social culture, nation-state, and sovereignty right.

Understanding the socio-political issues world, only, based on traditional concepts is impossible.

Religion and traditional cultural identification appear to protect young men in making decisions about starting sex, but these may also operate as risk factors in deciding whether or not to use contraception. A strong connection with parents’ traditional culture (speaking a language other than English with parents) was associated with lower risk of starting sex in both young men and young women. Where young people were born (inside or outside the UK) was less important for predicting sexual risk behavior.

Traditional cultural identification, as indicated by friendship choices, was protective against starting sex in young men but not in young women. However, once such young men had started sex, they were at increased risk of having unprotected sex. The same was the case for religion; young men claiming higher religious observance were less likely to have started sex, regardless of their religion. However, once such young men started having sex, they were more likely to have had unprotected sex than youngmen who have never attended a religious meeting.

Acculturation, the “phenomena which result when groups of individuals having different cultures come into continuous first-hand contact with subsequent changes in the original culture patterns of either or both groups” is believed to be a mediating factor in adolescents’ adaptation to their environment and their adoption of the health risk behaviors of peers from different cultures. Acculturation has been measured in different ways including duration of residence, country of birth, languages spoken, cultural participation (food and media preference, religious activities), social relations (support, friends, neighbors) and western lifestyle (high fat diet, sedentary lifestyle).
