They say, "be yourself." How does oneself evolve into being? What dynamics goes into becoming?, what systems move us into becoming yourself? Who or what influences our decisions? How much weight does family, education, jobs, community, government, and religion impact our decisions? If we consider a person a human being, then a person's own growth and development are compatible with social systems theory and thinking.
Can persons actually be social systems unto themselves? Some scientists have argued that it is not possible. However, other investigators argue that without the individual, there could be no society, and without society, there can be no individual. So does society send us system signals telling us where to attend higher education, what we can afford and not afford, our professional aspirations and community life? What is all this blabbering; well...it's an age old question that deals with "nature or nurture." Which contributes the most to who we are?
