NOTe: This is not intended to replace any other theories of personal identity but to work alongside them.
One thing people havent considered with regards to personal identity is someone's 'role' which I define as ones relationship to other people and their environment. My parent are still the same since the day I was born as are my siblings and our relationship dynamics from when we were kids hasnt changed much, same goes for my friends who I am still friends with so we can say my role hasnt changed in this regard and there is continuity. Now what about changing jobs or changing relationship dynamics or really anything that changes ones role or part of ones role? Well if I loose all of my family and friends in a bomb attack then their is no continuity with me at this point in time right? Not quite because that person will be the same person in every way but the parts lf their role thay have changed they yhen change a part of their role which we will contunue to have in the future. So we can say their is a connection as I will be continuing his role
