Personality and Society Sociology

The human personality is studied in detail with the help of various humanities, but special attention is paid to the concepts of personality and sociology sociology. In it, the main attention, especially in the study of the problem of the individual refers to social causes that affect human behavior. The basic concept used in sociology to denote the process of personality development is the notion of socialization.

Studying the personality and society, sociology considers the whole process in which a person absorbs social knowledge and experience, rules and norms of behavior. As a result of this process, a person is already becoming a full member of society. Usually in the process of socialization of personality, two stages can be distinguished: the process from the moment of the birth of a person and to the formation of a mature personality is the primary socialization. Secondary socialization usually occurs in case of a change and restructuring of an already established personality.

If you turn to the concept of personality, you can see that in ordinary speech it is identical to the concept of a person, these two concepts are used as synonyms for more than two thousand years. In sociology the term person designates a person as a separate unit of society, taken in the social aspect.

This is already a community of social properties of man, which is the product of social development. This individual is included in the system of social relations through communication and active objective activity. In the process of human life and activity in modern society, there is a constant need for a secondary socialization of the individual. Considering the personality and society, sociology concludes that the social status can change many times, as a person learns additional knowledge and skills.

In fact, society is for the human individual a social environment that unites many different social factors that influence the formation of the personality and its behavior. Such a great social environment as the world community is considered by sociology as the interaction of various personalities on a world scale. From the whole concept, the social environment can be distinguished macroenvironment - this is the social division of labor and the social structure of society, resulting from the nature of such a separation, the system of education and upbringing in society and so on.

In addition, there is a microenvironment - this is a school, family, workforce. The process of how the personality and society interact with each other sociology determines how interrelated. On the one hand, the human environment and the social system influence it, and on the other hand, the person himself with his active actions is able to change both the environment and the social environment in which he is.

In the process of such interaction, relations are realized that are called social. These relations are a stable definite system of communication of various individuals, which is formed in the conditions of a given society in the process of their interaction with each other. In essence, these are the relationships that are formed between people who are in different social groups.

All that we do is the result of social relations and any of our activities come down to building and reproducing these relations. If a person could succeed in something, it means that, first of all, he succeeded in the ability to build relationships with other people. Therefore, the relationship between the individual and society is considered not only as an activity of society, but also as an activity of an individual who, in certain social conditions, meets his needs and at the same time pursues certain personal goals.
