Social development vs self-development

By

Today, with my mentor, we were debating the social development theory. I know that this is not a very popular topic, but it’s vitally important in life. You see, reader, self-development has become immensely popular in recent decades, but little is said about social development. Therefore, I have a suggestion for you—the person reading my words: spend more time on this subject! Because it will give you power!

How self-development differs from social development.

Social development is when changes in a person’s personality are influenced by the environment, and self-development is when your changes come from inside (changes might be good or bad).

In other words, social development structures (TV, webpages, social media, conversations with others, advertising on the streets) affect us every second we are online. That’s why many people who devote a lot of time to self-development practices continue to fall victim to social development.
