Is this social regression?

Question

Is self-discovery a social norm? Would having an identity secure from birth (like your birth status, family backgrounds being displayed on your body) as a social norm be considered a social regression?

Answer 1

Not social regression per se  but definitively a step in the wrong direction as it relates to personal freedom.

To me social regression would be returning to a societal mechanism that was used in the past but now widely believed to be inferior to the current method.
