That's how i do my essay for philosophy classes.
"The human child at birth is not a man, but candidate in person"(A. Peron).I agree with Anri Peron, who argued that a human baby at birth is a candidate in person, but not yet a person. In modern social science structure of human personality is seen from three sides: the biological, social, and psychological. From a biological point of view of people have at birth becomes a member of the human race. But in this case, one of the founders of French experimental psychology had in mind the social and psychological side of human nature.In the course of social studies highlights the differences between the concepts of "individual" and "personality". Both terms describe a person. But if the individual - is a specific, separately taken representative of the human race, the person - a human individual who has acquired socially significant traits and abilities, mastered the ideals and values of civilization in the process of socialization.From a philosophical point of view, even more significant difference is the person's consciousness as the ability of the higher nervous system to adequately reflect the world around us. Rational, abstract thinking, which allows to acquire new knowledge by building on existing, well formed only in society and is closely associated with the development of speech as a means of communication between people.A typical example illustrating the importance of the social environment for the formation of personality, are the cases of finding the so-called child "Mowgli." Thus, the newborn girl in India a few years spent in a pack of monkeys. When she at 11 years of age came to people, she could not speak, walked on all fours, could not learn to eat with a spoon. It was more animal than a complete human being. At the same time, close attention and special techniques allow the development of sick children, such as Down syndrome, to become productive members of society.Thus, A. Peron right: looking at the baby, we do not yet know whether it will be a full-fledged personality. And it depends on him, and from every member of human society.
