Character is a system of relatively permanentmental characteristics of an individual who determine behavior in different life circumstances and in interaction with the society. He is directly connected with temperament and other aspects of personality. Temperament determines the form of the external manifestation of the character. The formation of the latter is strongly influenced by the social conditions under which the person's personality was formed, and that is why people who were brought up in similar conditions have many of its features.
Character is the fundamental part thatdirectly affects how a person behaves in relation to the situation, and first of all - how he reacts to the emerging stressful situations. Experts distinguish several groups of character traits on which it depends, how a person reacts to circumstances and manifests its individuality.
The first group includes those features thatshow the attitude of the individual to the collective, society and other people. They include sociability, respect for other people, responsiveness and sensitivity; the opposite traits are closedness, contempt for the surrounding people.
To the second group it is customary to refer those character traits that express a person's relationship to his work and work. For example, conscientiousness and responsibility to their work, or passivity and laziness.
The third group of character traits shows how a person treats himself.
The last, the fourth group, characterizes the attitude of a person to things (how accurate or careless, carefully or carelessly he approaches his things).
A character is a fairly stable system.It is usually formed in childhood or adolescence. However, a change in character is possible throughout life, if the person wants to, or in connection with new established circumstances, to which the individual needs to adapt. However, it should be borne in mind that certain character imperfections can not be overcome, nor can positive qualities be cultivated if the core, central relations of the individual to work and the collective are ignored. It is impossible to form only one single, individually taken property. In order to change the character, it is necessary to develop the entire system of interrelated qualities, with special attention to the formation of core relationships of the individual.
Character is the basis of happiness and well-beingeach person. It should be thought of as soon as possible. The character of the child is formed on the basis of the conditions and concepts in which he is before reaching adulthood, so the future of a particular person depends more on the social conditions and the ideas in which he is brought up. It should be remembered that the properties of the character of each individual depend in large part not on hereditary factors, but on the social environment and the conditions under which the personality was formed.
