New criteria for self‐identification

At a very close examination, traditional self‐identification by the nationality or the religious confession appears deprived from the common sense and even seems to be a kind of mauvais ton. Here a question arises: are the nationality and the religion the essential properties of a man or a woman? The most serious charges are following: national and religious conflicts are the reason of the greatest sufferings of mankind. If it is really necessary to rank a person with any class or category (but only if it is), historical memory can prompt more essential criteria.
