+**Identity is normative - agents act off of what’s endowed off their identity - someone isn’t obligated to jump in a house to put out a fire unless they’re a fire fighter.

+**Precariousness and our vulnerability to the other frames ethics ~-~-- it conditions how we enter vulnerable ethical relations. This reaffirms social relations that inherently discriminate ~-~-- different identities are intelligible based on what’s understood as true from what others tell us. The dependency on sociality means identities have to satisfy the social conditions established to be recognized within the community. BUTLER 2:** |

+**This structure of recognition is created by social norms which discriminate between different approaches to identity to warrant that some require mourning while others don’t. I don’t see some pure understanding of the other, I isolate particular features which are socially constructed ~-~-- grievability nullifies the value of individuals based off their identity, valuing some over others.
