The ability to give maximal confidence to the other; to proclaim brotherhood with another person (not family related) of different tribe, culture, nation or race. Also: the profiling of identities and distinctions in characters inside the same or the similar. For example: a father has five children. The brothers – as much similar they are – would like to differ between themselves, to build their own particular identities. They all speak the same language, but they say – My language now will be called Montenegrin, mine will be Serbian, mine Croatian, mine Bosnian…
