perception experience by our body. (Apparatuses of the mind). Moreover, he
suggests that self gives one personality and seat of knowledge acquisition for all
humans.
Gilbert Ryle- solves the mind-body dichotomy. For him, what truly matters is the
behavior that people manifest daily. Self is not an entity one can locate and analyze
but simply the convenient name to refer all behavior that people make. Moreover, he
incorporated biological and neuroscience into their philosophies.

Mead and Vygotsky- emphasize that language acquisition and interaction with
others are influential in shaping oneself. The way that we process information is

Mead- argued that the self is created and developed through human interactions.
Three reasons why self and identity are social products
Gender is one of the loci of self that is subject to alteration, change and
development.
Our gender partly determines how we see ourselves in the world.
Our society and culture have certain expectations regarding gender identity
and role in society. Hence, there is an emergence of feminism, gender
sensitivity, gender equality, and LGBTQIA+ community.
Gender has to be personally discovered and asserted and not dictated by
culture and the society.
