What are the geographical factors which would make it difficult for Caribbean people to develop a shared sense of identity?

Answer 1

It is difficult to establish a shared sense of identity when it is essentially impossible to define the Caribbean geographically by any one factor.

For instance:

- Not all islands rimmed by Caribbean sea is part of Caribbean and some Caribbean countries such as Barbados, Guyana and Bahamas aren't part of the CS but are part of the Caribbean

-Longitude and Latitude provides a general and not at all specific location of the Caribbean, inevitably including islands which aren't referred to as part of Carib.

- National identity tends to take precedence over Caribbean or regional identity. for eg. look at defining of borders not only on land masses but within the CS itself

Basically the lack of cogency and no standard geographical definition make it difficult to produce that unified sense of space,and identity.

use those points to write your essay. :)

Answer 2

Some factors that could make it difficult for Caribbean people to develop a shared sense of identity include the region's historical legacy of colonialism leading to diverse cultural influences, language barriers due to the multiple languages spoken across the Caribbean islands, and the physical distance and isolation of many islands, which can hinder face-to-face interactions and connections.
