This document explores the concept of the self and its intricate relationship with culture, as examined by sociologist Marcel Mauss. It examines the duality of the self, comprising the personal, biological moi and the socially constructed personne shaped by institutions, family, religion, and nationality. The document highlights how the capacity to assume different personnes can be understood through cross-cultural comparisons, using examples like the transformation of a suitor's behavior before and after a relationship commitment. It also explores the role of language in social constructivism, drawing insights from the Filipino language. The document further discusses the active participation of individuals in shaping their own self, mediated by language acquisition and social interactions, as proposed by Mead and Vygotsky. Overall, this document provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between the self and culture.

THE SELF AND THE DEPARTMENT OF THE SOCIAL WORLD
MEAD AND VYGOTZKY (^) For Mead and Vygotsky, the way that human persons develop is with the use of language acquisition and interaction with others. The way that we process information is normally a form of internal dialogue in our head. (^) Cognitive and Emotional development of a child is always a mimicry of how it is done in the social world, in the external reality where he is in. (^) Both Mead and Vygotsky treat the human mind as something that is made, constituted through language as experience in the external world.
