Abstract
"Are We Social Beings?" looks at the relationship between personality and culture while contrasting the atomistic and societal views of the self represented by Descartes and Hegel. Using the endangered culture of the Laplanders in Sweden as the basis for this exploration, the segment also looks at how the historical-social context influences the forming of self, the self respect associated with belonging to a valued culture, and the difficulty minority cultures have in retaining their identity in a multi-cultural society.
