the formation of Christianity, throughout history, various Western thinkers who contributed to the development of European identity were influenced by classical cultures and incorporated elements of Greek culture as well as Jewish culture, leading to some movements such as Philhellenism and Philosemitism. Implications The implications are multiple as various research traditions are now heavily utilizing the lens of identity to examine phenomena. One implication of identity and of identity construction can be seen in occupational settings. This becomes increasing challenging in stigmatized jobs or "dirty work". Tracy and Trethewey state that "individuals gravitate toward and turn away from particular jobs depending in part, on the extent to which they validate a "preferred organizational self". Some jobs carry different stigmas or acclaims. In her analysis Tracy uses the example of correctional officers trying to shake the stigma of "glorified maids". "The process by which people arrive at justifications of and values for various occupational choices." Among these are workplace satisfaction and overall quality of life. People in these types of jobs are forced to find ways in order to create an identity they can live with. "Crafting a positive sense of self at work is more challenging when one's work is considered "dirty" by societal standards". "In other words, doing taint management is not just about allowing the employee to feel good in that job. "If employees must navigate discourses that question the viability of their work, and/ or experience obstacles in managing taint through transforming dirty work into a badge of honor, it is likely they will find blaming the client to be an efficacious route in affirming their identity". In any case, the concept that an individual has a unique identity developed relatively recently in history. Factors influencing the emphasis on personal identity may include: in the West, the Protestant stress on one's responsibility for one's own soul psychology itself, emerging as a distinct field of knowledge and study from the 19th century onwards the growth of a sense of privacy since the Renaissance specialization of worker roles during the industrial period (as opposed, for example, to the undifferentiated roles of peasants in the feudal system) employment and occupation can work together to have an effect on a person's identity. increased emphasis on gender identity, including gender dysphoria and transgender issues Identity changes An important implication relates to identity change, i.e. the transformation of identity.
