I. TOPIC: Culture and Personality
II. DATE : July 6, 2012
III. KEY CONCEPT:
According to Tischler, personality is pattern of behavior that is
distinctive for each individual. A personality can be nurture or it can be
natural. Id, ego and super ego consist of one’s personality according to
Sigmund Freud’s theory of personality. We can say that id is our instinct, ego is
our pride, and super ego is our conscience. As a part of growing up, we
learned how to interact to various groups performing a corresponding role in
our society.
IV. PARTICIPATION IN DISCUSSION:
I have learned that we are unique in every detail of our life, not only in
our personality, attitude, appearance, but the way of our beliefs, philosophies
in life, culture, way of thinking and how we interact, how we handle a certain
role or certain emotions, how we nurture them or how it reacts naturally. We
are far from each other but sometimes we are a lot of common to each
other. The society and it’s culture can affects one personality but one’s
personality can affect in the society and it’s culture.
