Answer:
Collective identity refers to a person's sense of belonging to a group. The identity of the group, or the 'collective,' becomes a part of the person's individual identity. The idea here is that by participating in social activities, a person can develop a sense of belonging and an identity that goes beyond the person. This sense of belonging can become so potent that it takes over other pieces of the person's identity. In the example above, Jane's identity became so wrapped up in the group that she started smoking, even though it violates her family pact. Jane also risks getting caught stealing from her mother and breaking school rules by smoking on the grounds. However, the risks are worth it to Jane since she is now popular. From Jane's example we can see that there are both rewards and risks involved with collective identity.
