You have to ask yourself: Who are you talking to? What kind of society do they come from? Are they technical or non-technical? So you can frame your words so that they might understand you. Self-identity is what you indentify with. If you're brought up as an eskimo and you do nothing but hunt seals, your subject matter is limited to the lifestyle you live and you identify with that. If you are brought up in a high-tech society and you are familiar with mathematics, you can't talk to an eskimo about your mathematical interests or why you are interested in mathematics. You have to give them some form of reference so that they can understand what you're talking about, not everybody understands what you are talking about. Mostly we talk at people rather than to them. We say "good morning", we don't control the weather but we say "good morning, how's everybody?" "Very well thank you". But we really don't go into anything. These are automatic reactions.
