Document Summary
It"s natural and external (can"t change it) the time (socially and culturally) Focused on the history of the concept self. (form of the self has taken) Focused on the relationship and the system of law, religions, customs, social structures, and thought. The concept of self is not an old one. Zuni lived in north america their were limited number of forenames (given names) and limited number of role played by each (two roles) Like a play, the actors have limited roles to play. There is no concept developed for the self. Not everyone has a concept of self as individual that is seperate from group collection. Everyone is not the same but unique. The concept of self is not given (came from india, china, west) Individual (human beings that constructed social relations) and dividual (through exchanging goods) Personhood is different (we have our own unique thought)
