It is impossible to imagine a person existing outside of society. Just it makes an individual out of an individual, educates him, shapes his character. Therefore, the individual and society are closely interconnected. It is the science of sociology that studies this connection.
Personality
As mentioned above, the individual and society interact closely. By the way, the term "personality" came from the word "mask, mask." Yes, yes, everyone probably thought about what I'm talking about. No matter how sincere our friends may consider us, we are still in a mask. And not in one. Depending on the situation and the society in which we are, we put on such a mask. You can not call these masks a negative trait of a person, because it is thanks to them that a person knows another. And most importantly, he knows himself, because by analyzing the behavior, or rather the person’s face in a given situation, we understand what he wants to be and why he chose just such a mask. Do you think a child can be defined by the word "personality"? Philosophy, and especially psychology, argues that we are born individuals. That is, the primary signs of a person, generally accepted qualities. From birth, we have instincts, reflexes, temperament. But qualities that are distinguishing from other people are formed throughout life, the main role in the formation of which is played by the society in which a person is brought up and lives.
It is not for nothing that they say that we are born individuals, but become a personality. It is personal qualities that distinguish us from others, and make each person unique. The society and the person who is brought up in it, as a result of interaction, form a person with a set of unique character traits.
Personality in society
In the upbringing of the individual, the key role is played by the family, society and school. Family and school, in turn, operate inseparably with society. Individual character traits are formed during the first 5-6 years of a person's life. Depending on the environment in which the child is brought up, such is his behavior and outlook on life. For example, if the street brings up a small person, do not be surprised when an egoist who does not see anything wrong with theft grows out of him. The child was taught that stealing is normal, everyone survives as best he can, and this is easy money. And this is just one example of how personality and society interact. The philosophy in relation to this connection states that we are all individuals, individuals as well, but not everyone becomes personalities. Only the favorites. Everything is clear with the individual, since a person is born to him, we become individuals in the process of development and upbringing. Traits are formed that are inherent in this particular person. Each of us has something that distinguishes us from others.
But only strong, unique, talented people become a personality. Most of them are famous people: inventors, politicians, talented musicians, actors, politicians, artists, philosophers, writers, people who have their own, different from others, point of view on things and problems. They are not afraid to express it, showing that they are truly independent and strong people. These are called "Man", with a capital letter. This is how an individual and a society interact, a healthy society.
All geniuses were brought up by parents, teachers. Do not think that they were born unique, and even before birth, life had prepared for them the fate of a great man. The individual and society act inseparably, and it was society that made the child a genius who subsequently managed to stir up the world. Everyone has the same chances to achieve heights in life, because there are examples when people from slums could become personalities. Having taken care of the environment in which your child is brought up, you can grow out of him a personality that will turn this world upside down.
