The most interesting and practical psychology that we work on every day
In people's traditional cognition, there is a close connection between "personality" and the state of the individual. This term is also called "personality". Refers to a person's mental outlook or psychological outlook.
In a foreign language context, this term comes from the Latin "persona", which originally referred to the "mask" worn by the actor, and was later extended to refer to characters, roles and their inner characteristics or psychological outlook.
So from the perspective of etymology, we can know that the reason why we pay attention to people's "personality" in daily life is that we want to peek into the diversity of human nature from the diversity of personality.
As the saying goes, "There are all kinds of wonders in the world", "There are a hundred people of all kinds", and "There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people". Originally, individuals in the world should be full of strange things, full of talents with various characteristics.
However, with the development of modern society, people's lives have gradually begun to converge. To give a simple example, take many cities in China. Almost every city's most prosperous place has a pedestrian street and a commercial district, including various chain restaurants, movie theaters, and coffee shops. What is consumed here is the city's The youngest group in the group.
Such areas exist whether in first-tier cities or in some counties.
Similarly, places like this have given many young people a place to carry out daily life and leisure. As a result, when young people everywhere socialize, their behaviors are basically "eating and watching movies", which is extremely Convergence.
Converging personalities in a homogeneous life
Although from the perspective of economic development and social progress, it is a very good situation that cities of different levels have places for people to relax.
But the fact we can see from this small perspective is that under the impact of the extremely homogeneous force of modern social development, people under the influence have also begun to live extremely homogeneous lives.
British sociologist Anthony Giddens put forward a concept in his book "The Consequences of Modernity": A significant impact of modernity on society is a "rupture".
This "break" means that the original order of time and space will be broken. People no longer have to do certain things step by step as before, but can "do whatever they want" in some seemingly unreasonable scenarios.
However, the impact of this is that the original colorful and diverse culture has begun to gradually disappear. For example, some traditional skills are only used during certain festivals and ceremonies; as festivals fade away and special skills become routine, special skills will gradually decline.
Artist, writer, literary critic, Chen Danqing who graduated from Central Academy of Fine Arts said in an interview: What he sees in today's society is more of a commonality. Young people have a high degree of uniformity in their lives. Sex, especially the developed Internet life, has caused some buzzwords and cultural phenomena to become popular among young people. This era is rapidly "eliminating" those people with personality, which is a terrible sign.
For example, the popular "yyds" is originally "eternal god" and expresses admiration for someone and something. In fact, it has a very simple meaning, but due to the symbolization of Chinese characters and the popularity of subculture, a similar phenomenon has appeared among young people.
The contradiction between group nature and individuality
So is the frequent emergence of this subculture a good phenomenon? The answer is not yes.
Let’s take the example we gave as an example. In fact, it is just another way of praising others. It does not produce anything particularly novel. On the contrary, it also causes some elderly people to be unable to communicate and understand.
Chen Danqing said in the second half of the interview that he believes that the current life of young people is much better than them at the time, but now young people are generally not as good as young people of the year.
is actually worthy of our thinking: when in a group, some phenomenon has emerged, and it will immediately receive the support and follow of most people, so there is a certain hidden danger.
This proves that the self -thinking ability of some individuals in the group has begun to weaken, and even the phenomenon of frequent "follow the trend".
Mr. Lu Xun described a group of indifferent and ignorant images in his famous novel "Medicine", a group of people around the execution ground of revolutionary martyrs.
The content they discussed was not the danger of the country, but actually used the blood of martyrs to make medicine attractions. Of course, the problem is not so serious today. is just reminding the majority of young people. The so -called popular culture can show some of the characteristics of young people, but their own personality still exists.
is actually in Chinese traditional culture. Because of our personality, many people respect the idea of "with the flow".
This also causes many families. When some parents educate their children, they will deliberately instill an idea, "you'd better keep consistent with everyone, don't be the unique person." The original intention of
is that the parents who are not involved in the world have attracted unnecessary trouble because of their pursuit of a momentary happiness. They are worried.
is actually not that young people have their own personality, but that young people have misunderstood the true meaning of sex. For example, some young people, they mistakenly regard ignorance as a personality.
. They do not want to suppress the development of young people. It is natural to have a personality of light people. If a person has no personality, what is the difference between him and most of others?
Especially in today's society, our living environment is developing and changing rapidly every day. In many cases, personality is actually a person's label. can help you leave a extraordinary extraordinary in social communication in social exchanges. Impression can also help you in work, so as not to show people a sense of boring.
is of course the most important thing is that in your own life, because of your personality, your life is unique and different. Many times, the motivation of your life comes from this. In summary of
, although the rapid development of society has brought about changes in the same fast lifestyle to people in different regions, this changes in the same strength will often lead to the homogeneity of people's personality.
, as a young man, is best to maintain personality, but the premise is what you understand what you should have.
