Habermas anyone?

So, this week I begin a week long journey into the realm of constructivist thought as it pertains to identity formation through the use of language.

As I'm nearly clueless when it comes to this sort of thing, anything anyone might be able to contribute to my better understanding the logic behind this argument would be tremendously helpful. If you're curious as to why I'm looking into this, it's in order to apply this line of reasoning creation of an 'underdeveloped' identity in non-western non-industrialized states where traditionally, development is a foreign concept.

feel free to let me know what you think!
