    THE SELF,

    SOCIETY, AND
    CULTURE
    How much of who you are
    now a product of society,
    community, and family?
    01
    WHAT IS THE
    SELF?
    THE SELF…
    SEPARATE distinct from the other selves

    SELF-CONTAINED
    our self alone can exist, it does not require any other self for it
    to exist
    INDEPENDENT
    particular self’s traits, characteristics, tendencies, and
    CONSISTENT potentialities are more or less the same.
    center of all experiences and thoughts that run through a
    UNITARY certain person

    PRIVATE the self is isolated from the external world


    MARCEL MAUSS (French Anthropologist)

    Every SELF has two faces:


    ● MOI – person’s sense of who he
    is, his body, and his basic identity

    ● PERSONNE - what it means to live


    in a particular institution, a
    particular family, a particular
    religion, a particular nationality,
    and how to behave given
    expectations and influences from
    others
    02
    THE SELF AND THE
    DEVELOPMENT OF
    THE SOCIAL WORLD
    MEAD AND VYGOTSKY

    The way that human person develop is the use


    of language acquisition and interaction with
    others.

    The way we process information is normally a


    form of an internal dialogue in our head.

    “should I do this or that?” “But if I do this, it will


    be like this” “Don’t I want the other option?

    Both treat the human mind as something that is


    made, constituted through language
    SELF IN
    FAMILIES

    The impact of one’s family is still deemed


    as a given in understanding the self.

    The kind of family that we are born, the


    resources available to us (human,
    spiritual, economic), and the kind of
    development that we will have will
    certainly affect us as we go through life.
    SELF IN
    FAMILIES
    Human persons learn the ways of living
    and therefore;

    Babies internalize ways and styles that


    they observe from their family.
    Without a family, biologically
    and sociologically, a person
    may not even survive or
    become a human person.
    GENDER AND THE SELF
