One concept

One concept that we discussed on is what is self. The first post I wrote for this week, and the last paper I wrote, included about one's self. Throughout this course, I have learned that the way we are depends on how much we communicate with people. The book states that "The self arises in communication with others", which explains we develop a self in the process of communicating with others. I believe that this is very true, and didn't know this until I took this class. Also, this isn't all that it made me realize, the people you communicate with, eventually defines the kind of people you will become. Sometimes you hang out with people who has a certain type of idea about a particular thing, and when you communicate enough with them, their idea will become your idea. We all form ideas of our own, but sometimes it will overcome our own. It also defines the type of person you are, whether you're a good or bad person, generous, nice, mean, etc. Communication with others will define you as a person in general.
