The formation of a person's personality occurs insociety These are two interconnected social phenomena. Personality and social environment do not exist separately. They serve as a subject of keen interest and study of the entire range of socio-economic disciplines: history, economics, psychology, philosophy and sociology.
How do personality and society interact?
Who is the subject and object of this mutualinfluences? What are the laws of personality integration in society? We will try to answer questions and designate modern approaches to the nature of the relationship between a person and the world around him.
The birth of a person is reflected bya set of metric indicators, which in the complex provide information about the individual. Height, weight, state of health, nationality, place and date of birth are the basic characteristics with which a person comes into the world.
In the process of development, a person as an individual interacts with the outside world. And the path of its development is as individual and unique as its anthropometric portrait.
In the process of becoming an individual in societyacquires psychological characteristics, habits, attitudes, behaviors. He becomes an individual in society. And only the full right to freedom of choice, which is officially regulated by the age of majority, makes individuality a person.
Socialization is the process of integrating an individual intosociety, as a result of which at each of the stages he acquires the qualities of his full member. Personality and social environment are dynamic units. At all stages of their interaction or non-interaction, a change of subject-object roles takes place.
There are three stages of the socialization of the individual:
All three periods are not rigidly linked to age stages and can be carried out simultaneously in each age period.
Conventionally, the beginning of socialization can be attributed toage stages of infancy and childhood. This period is characterized by the acquisition of the initial experience of interaction between the individual and society. The factors of the social environment directly affect the formation of the relationship of man to the world.
Если это социально неблагополучная среда, то она can form a negative scenario of individual behavior and lead further to an asocial lifestyle. There are other examples: if during the period of personal development a person makes a choice not in favor of the negative environment surrounding him, he has every chance to change his environment.
In any case, the characteristic of the social environmentimposes a mark on the initial experience. Indicator of the level of personality - freedom of choice. Every person has the right to follow the norms of society to the extent that corresponds to his personal nature.
During this period, the position of a person in society takes place.
In adolescence, when there is a reassessment of the surrounding world and its place in it, an active process of social self-identification takes place, a person declares himself and his place in society.
The ability to agree, to find a common interest is required both for a person and for a society interested in successful adaptation and gaining public benefits from a new member of the community.
The most important period for a society and a person is the stage of integration, when an already accomplished person realizes himself. Personality and social environment interested in each other.If at the first and second stages of the process of entering a society a person as an individual more often acted as an object of relations, the society taught him to be a member, then during the period of integration a person acts, with the active position of the subject of social interactions.
What does this mean?
Thus, a person, without ceasing to be an object of society, acts as a subject of management of the community in which he socialized, and influences him.
All these stages of socialization are conditional in theirhorizontal historical orientation. At each stage, the role and status of an individual can change, in different conditions the same person can fulfill different social roles and statuses.
The stage of entry into society can be repeated inany period of social maturity of the individual, with a change in social status or social community, the professional community and other similar options.
Не последнюю роль играет социально-культурная Wednesday. If a person has changed jobs or entered into marriage, then he is forced to re-undergo a process of socialization. Determine the extent to which it is satisfied or there is no new socio-cultural environment, and make a choice as a free person.
The individual at birth becomes an individualin the process of interaction with other people and is formed as a socially significant person. Personality is the result of social evolution, limited by the experience of one person from an individual to a full member of society.
The quality of the social environment is an important characteristic for the formation of personality.
Freedom of personality forces change of boundariessociety’s ability to secure this right. This is the purpose of the individual - the improvement of the surrounding world through active participation both in the mode of production of goods and in the architecture of knowledge.
Personality in society has a certain social status - a complex of social characteristics that determine a place in the social hierarchy.
В обществе каждый его член выполняет социальные roles This is a model of individual behavior characteristic of the social circle of society. It happens that the individual qualities of a person become unacceptable traits for society. For example, a man of genius is a person extremely uncomfortable for the inner circle, his talent negates the interests of the family, and he often finds it difficult to write out the norms of the inner circle.
Личность - это результат социализации индивида в society. Let us ask the question of whether society always corresponds to the level of individual freedom. And where are the criteria, how much does society meet its interests, and should it follow the standards set by this society? Personality and social environment - where is the edge of freedom in this intersection?
Society is a living organism. And, as well as the person, has a different orientation - humane and anti-humane in relation to its members. History provides for this a lot of examples.
Общество по отношению к конкретному человеку acts as a social paradigm, a model with a given history and time values. The characteristic of the social environment is significantly different within the social paradigm.
Модель советского общества в качестве социальной paradigms set the vector of strict conformity of each member of society to state standards. Freedom was limited by the norms of communist morality - to be like everyone else. Actually, it was a given lack of freedom into which a person fell at birth. A person, as in the Procrustean bed, risked losing either the head or other important organs.
The fate of lonely heroes who do not refusefrom the right of freedom of choice, alas, is sad. But only they can rightly be considered personalities, since the main characteristic of these people is freedom of choice.
Man is a social being, he cannot fulfill his mission outside of society.
An important motive for progress is personality andthe social environment in which it was able to materialize. One of the well-known forms of recognition of human merit by society is the assignment of the title of Nobel Prize winner. These are people whose personal contribution is recognized as socially significant for the progress of society. These are people who have not only achieved ambitious goals, but spiritually rich, independent in their ability to be free, worthy members of human society.
Albert Einstein, physicist, author of the theoryrelativity, said worthy words: more important than achieving success in life, understanding its meaning. Very relevant words today, if we consider that the Internet is littered with “how to become successful” ways, and this success is measured by the size of the wallet.
