Dear colleagues!
Thanks to all those who responded to the topic of upbringing and mental health. Based on your materials, the article “Types of upbringing” was supplemented. At the same time, curious thoughts about the relationship between the individual and society were born. I’m not at all sure that I see the subject in sufficient volume, so I will be grateful to you for your additions.
Personality and society
Society is a society when it is represented as a faceless mass and contrasted with a specific person, individual and personality.
The relationship of society and personality
If there were no society, there would be no personality. Society is the soil on which each specific person grew up, the source of his strength, mind, education and culture. However, the society has its own laws and is not always focused on the interests of a particular person, as a result of which there may be conflicts between the society and the individual.

The consequence of such an attitude is instilling in people an uncritically hostile attitude towards social attitudes and an increase in the clientele of psychotherapists.
Adults are enemies, do not obey adults!
The setting “Adults are enemies, do not obey adults!” — a kind of belief about the hostility of society and the individual. The consequences of its distribution are similar.
Psychological literature often tells that when parents guide their children about their future, they usually impose on them what they themselves could not realize in their lives, thereby solving their problems at the expense of children. Yes, it happens. It happens not at all, and setting children up against those balanced recommendations that a child can hear from loving parents seems to be the wrong position.
