In this blog we will be discussing the difference between personality and self concept starting off with personality. Personality has many different definitions just like Solomon 1999 stated that personality is a "person's uniqe make up which consistently influences the way a person responds to their environment."
I believe, personality means how an individual feels, there behaviour towards others and their aspects towards life, a person’s personality could be affected by their upbringing. Some would be more welcoming where as others will not be this maybe
Here are a few definitions which I was able to find for the term “personality”.
Firstly the term personality means: “the quality of being a person; existence as a self-conscious human being; personal identity.”
Another definition for the term personality is “. the visible aspect of one's character as it impresses others: He has a pleasing personality. “ . (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/personality)
When discussing about someone’s personality we usually tend to talk about what makes that certain individual so different from other individuals and people. In that sense unique , and you may meet people in life that have different personalities as it is unique.
Unique definition: “not typical; unusual” (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/unique)
Your own personality will show other people around you as to what type of person you are.
However the type of personality you would have at the moment could of been influenced by someone or may have grown through your life and experience therefore you have that personality.
Don't forget to make reference to academic writing and theories. And proof read ....
