Assuming that the recognition and affirmation of identities are processes that require a long constructive maturation, both individually and collective terms, seeks to show how the people gradually acquire itself identity as with its socio-cultural environment and with the collective history. The approach focuses on the locative, integrative and selective function of the identity with socio-cultural environment, which makes it possible full positioning of the individuals in society. According to this, the cultural patterns of child’s breeding are important in taking models of thinking, feeling and acting. The historical consciousness makes it possible, moreover, the appropriation of the past and also designing new possibilities for the future. The author notes some of the conditions necessary to integrate the diverse within a framework of respect, equality and reciprocity. The goal would be to build processes that help to promote pluralistic, fair and truly democratic societies, under an intercultural paradigm.
