    ASSIGNMENT NO#4

    NAME: AROOSA AMJAD


    DEPARTMENT: DOCTOR OF PHYSIOTHERAPY
    ROLL NO#: DPT07203026
    SEMESTER: 2ND
    SUBMITTED TO: SIR AMMAD REHMAN

    Identify the elements of social group influence that you think have
    become part of your personality, life style, life choices and goals. Which
    of your life philosophies, likes and dislikes are not the products of social
    influence, i.e., that are just your own idiosyncrasies?

    Writing about how social groups influence our personality traits, lifestyle, life choices and goals is a
    complicated task which needs some critical and analytical thinking. To sum up how different social
    groups affects us and how deep rooted their influence are is impossible as sometimes the effect
    caused by certain amount of people is not recognizable at that instant. But as you evolve with time
    that specific influence evolve with you and become a part of you. Following are general observation
    that I think have become part of my life because of the different social group:

    PRIMARY GROUP: firstly what affect my family, college and university friends are on myself:
    Confident (a personality trait that exist due to the trust that my people around give me.)
    Modesty ( as being a part of upper middle class family I have raised to dress myself
    modestly this has now however become a part of my fashion style.)
    Medicine fields as a career (was a choice although made independently but the seed was
    sown in my brain by my mother at a very young age that being a doctor and thus serving
    humanity is the best thing).
    SECONDARY GROUP: so far my school, college and now university is in this group. Main
    personality trait influence by this category is to:
    Being open minded and liberal (in seeing and understanding different perspectives of life
    that has been majorly developed by my time spent in university).
    QUASI SOCIAL GROUP: living in a Pakistani state I’ll say that finding your own way with
    different methods to solve a problem (referring to the native word used here - “JUGAAR”) is
    a key characteristic feature of my life adapted to interact in this social group Moreover
    being lazy and fussy is also one of them.
    Altogether the social groups in which I live has made me a family oriented person with a
    collectivist mindset.

    My idiosyncrasies:
    Determining that is difficult as nowadays we are globally connected. Every second we are
    seeing or participating in something on social media. We are using technology as a source
    of information, entertainment and also for contacting other. This has become our life as
    well. Being a millennial I am deeply into it so some of the characteristics of my life that I
    will be enlisting can be or cannot be solely due to my idiosyncrasies:

     Music (I have a variety of music taste in my personality i.e. I love to listen ghazals
    and Bollywood songs at the same time I also love electronic and pop music.)
     Sometimes for certain environments my approach to cope up is often rude or blunt
    that is not generally observed within my social structure.
     Coming up with new life hacks
     A fondness toward learning new languages.
     Writing stories about different scenarios.

    Of course the above are some of the general examples that I briefly told within myself. But
    it is a fact that my goals, life choices, personality, and lifestyle is hugely influenced by the
    society in which a small amount of idiosyncrasies revolving around it.

    The End
