3. Individual. Individuality. Personality

The concept of "Individual", "Individuality", "Personality", is often

used synonymously to describe a person. However, they have important differences. These concepts describe a person from different sides:
The individual - is a characteristic of a person as an individual representative of a biological kind people. The Individuality - is a characteristic of a person as a carrier of unique, distinctive qualities which are inherent only to him and which distinguish him from other members of the human race.

The Personality includes both inherited and acquired properties. Personality is defined

as the carrier of social qualities. A man becomes a Personality in the process of assimilation of the social and cultural experiences of the society (such a process in sociology is called socialization). Only a person with an established worldview, value orientations and moral principles can be called a personality. Personality is the result of the interaction of man and society.
