Chapter 6 Critique
Culture, Self, and Personality
This chapter discussed the influences that an individual encounters throughout their life and the
specific aspects that are changed during their life period.
Culture, self, and personality are all factors in
one's life that emerge as the main components of their individual self.
This chapter discussed the
different parts of one's self including self esteem and self efficacy.
There were several different types
of personalities mentioned as well with a few that stood out more than others such as agreeableness,
extroversion and neuroticism to name a few.
The idea of temperament was also highly touched upon
discussing the debate whether or not it is a result of genetics or one's surrounding environment.
All of
these ideas were considered throughout different stages of one's life and the impact that each has on
each stage of life.
There are many questions and theories that remain unanswered because evidence has
yet to point consistently in one direction.
