Complete 1 page APA formatted article: Self and Society. Self and Society An individual builds up the concept of self from social experiences. This means that people who have yet to gather enough social experiences or those without social experiences are yet to discover what the self-context is all about. Once one discovers what they are made of and what constitutes them, they can be able to then view others in the same eye differently. One also from then onwards knows how to relate with him or her and can be able to make better choices in regards to him.

Personality of an individual is said to be built up from the discovery of self-making an individual unique and the choices they make in life unique as well. The other thing mentioned is in relation to the issue of communication. The discovery of oneself facilitates better communication because the people are able to know what they want and hence be in a position to understand what the others want and wish as well. This relationship in the society brought about by the awareness of the self is what makes the society better and what can make societies even better than they are now.

I think at this point that I have developed a good concept of myself and this is the reason I am able to relate better with people. I view people in terms of how I view myself and can be bale to understand what they are going through as well as be empathetic about their situations and life choices.
