Authenticity is an abstract and somewhat elusive concept that is based on a person's loyalty to their identity and culture despite external influences. In a society built on a hierarchy between cultures, languages, and identities, there is a constant attempt by individuals and communities at the bottom of the hierarchy to try to resemble the identities and cultures at the top. This attempt involves heavy prices paid by those who try to change their identity and culture and losses for the entire society, which loses the values and culture of an entire community within it. Identifying the processes that create a turn away from authenticity, and strengthening the original identity and culture, allows for a process of correction for individuals and communities that have given up their cultural identity treasures and want to return to them.
