AN OVERVIEW OF SELF/
IDENTITY
 ISSUES ON THE SELF

1. NATURE VS. NURTURE


GENETICS for example contribute so much information about the descriptions of the self.
This field of biology primarily deals with heredity (transmission of traits and characteristics
from one generation to another) as a process, as well as with the characterizations (similarities
and differences) of organisms.
Different social sciences stress how group life (formal and informal) affects an individual’s
behavior and attitude, and emphasize on the impact of various social institutions to the self-
construal of a person.
 2. IDENTITY VS. SELF
 IDENTITY based on lexicon definitions pertains to “the qualities,
beliefs, etc., that make a particular person or group different from
others… or the distinguishing character or personality of an
individual.”
 The term SELF (noun) refers to “the person that someone normally
or truly is… or the entire person of an individual.”
 Identities are traits and characteristics, social relations, roles, and
social group memberships that define who one is. Identities can
be focused on the past- what used to be true of one , the present-
what is true of one now, or the future- the person one expects or
wishes to become, the person one feels obligated to try to become,
or the person one fears one may become; together, identities make
up one’s self-concept variously described as what comes to mind
when one thinks oneself.
