The concept of "self" is regarded as key to being a person. it is socially constructed concept as to how human beings develop an understanding of themselves as distinct and separable from others
The view of 'others' become important is constructing reality and regulating behaviour. Individuals may internalise social expectations and standards. This depends on the 'norms' of a particular society. e.g: rituals
Being a person is to have a conscious mind that is constantly interacting with the outside world. A person is 'I' is the way he or she perceives himself/herself and 'me' is the way he/she perceives himself/herself in front of other social members. It is having these two selves that makes every human being a person and whos 'me' and 'i' constantly interact
