What is the purpose of beginning the selection with the individual’s sense of identity and then moving to shared webs of meaning?

This is because the individual's sense of identity is easier to relate to.

Explanation:

An individual's sense of identity is formed from the belief, values, and characteristics that make a person and which he extracts from the general culture guiding his society. Shared webs of meaning relate to the aspect of culture that is common to people in a society. This would include their shared values, religious beliefs, sense of right and wrong, etc.

Individuals in a society can choose which of the values and beliefs, they think are most reasonable to them. This helps in building their sense of identity. An individual would find it easier to identify with his own sense of identity before comprehending the shared webs of meaning in his society.
