As intelligence, personality’s
origin is unknown. How and way every individual has different interests,
beliefs, behavior and values has puzzled many since it is divided in two sides
nurture and nature. These are the answers for the question of the origin of
personality in an individual. Through time sociologists have studied the
isolated children who have had little to no contact with the social groups. To
fix the damage to an individual or to add information to an individual’s
personality to replace the undesired traits they are sent to an agent of
socialization to change them to a certain standard of ideals values, beliefs
and behavior. The idea that the agents of socialization works is based on
nurture, and the social self origin ideas.
The
debate of nature and nurture is based on whether people are mostly affected by
their genetics or their experience. The heredity
the traits passed down by generations through the genetic of the parents.
Some of these traits are instincts
that are uncontrolled reactions. In
sociobiology the idea is that traits are what create what is called personality.
Heredity is thought to have an important part in the development of the
individual, the genetic aptitude to learn a skill could lead to a particular
area of an individual’s personality. The order
of birth can influence the decisions as well as the characteristics of parents because they affect the treatment change
to the development of the individual just as much as the culture environment dose.
The agents of socialization are in charge of
making individuals that work in the society. These are family, peer group, schools, and the mass media that work after and when an individual is Resocializased, which breaks their experience,
this can happen in total institutions.
Well these agents are not part of the life of individuals feral children, children that wild or untamed, are formed. In an
example Anna was locked in the attic with minimum social interact while she had
little food like Isabella the only difference was that Isabelle was lucky to be
rescued in time to survive and caught up with her age expectations while deaf, Anna
died at an age of ten after her rescue and Genie had human interaction but it
was painful.
The social
self of the individual theories are three. Locke made the tabula rasa that say that the experience creates the personality of
the individual. Cooley theories that the personality is the result of the individual’s
belief of the opinion of others this was called looking-glass self based on how we use others to create our
personality. Mead created the role taking idea that states that what others believe
one is what one becomes.
Care less
of how obtain our personality the mystery will be debated because there is
always a large one that will have a say in the mater. If we are more biological
than experience then hopefully we will find faster ways to fix multiple
problems in terms of the personalities. This is incredible when seen from because
the point of view of how it most feels when one remembers the transformation of
our personality over the years. That is what make the question dose it change
because of experience or because our instincts adapts to the situation.
