    This document discusses the relationship between the self, society, and culture. It defines the self as separate, self-contained, independent, consistent, and private. However, society and culture shape the self through language, social interactions, families, and concepts of gender. The self has two components - personal identity (moi) and social identity (personne) influenced by culture. By interacting with others, children learn social roles that help form their sense of self. Different institutions like family also influence how individuals see themselves in relation to the world.

    Dian N. Olango, LPT

    2. Describe and discuss the different ways by which society


    and culture shape the self;

    were discussed in class.
    INTRODUCTION

    ● Thinkers just settled on the idea that there are


    two components of the human person
    ● Whatever relationship these two have is les
    important than the fact that there is self.
    ● One of the most important axis of analysis is the
    relationship between self and the external world
    WHAT IS THE SELF?
    ● Separate, self-contained, independent, consistent, unitary and
    private

    ● SEPARATE – it means that the self is distinct from other selves


    ● SELF-CONTAINED and INDEPENDENT – it does not require other self for it to
    exist
    ● CONSISTENTENCY – it has a personality that is enduring and therefore can
    be expected to persist for quite some time.
    ● UNITARY – it is the center of all experiences and thoughts that run through
    a certain person
    ● PRIVATE – sorts out information, feelings and emotions, and thought
    processes within the self
    THE SELF and CULTURE

    ● French Anthropologist MARCEL MAUSS states that


    every self has two faces: PERSONNE and MOI.

    ● MOI – a person’s basic identity (person’s sense of


    who he is, his body, his biological givenness)
    ● PERSONNE – composed of the social concepts of
    what it means to be who he is.
    LANGUAGE

    ● Is a salient part of culture and


    ultimately, has a tremendous effect
    in crafting of the self.
    THE SELF and the DEVELOPMENT of
    the SOCIAL WORLD
    ● More than his givenness, one is believed to be in active
    participation in the shaping of the self

    ● GEORGE HERBERT MEAD


    - A child conceptualizes his notion of “self” through this.

    ● LEV VYGOTSKY
    - A child internalizes real-life dialogs that he has had with others
    SELF in FAMILIES
    ● The most prominent institution in the
    society.
    ● Without a family, biologically and
    sociologically, a person may not even
    survive or become a human person.
    GENDER and SELF

    ● One of the loci of the self that is subject to


    alteration, change and development.
    ● It partly determines how we see ourselves in the
    world
    ● It has to be personally discovered and asserted
    and not dictated by culture and the society
