From the Paper:

"Human beings are born with an ability or nature to become social beings and if the child is raised typically they will develop their social self, or become a part of society in one facet or another. This social self is developed as the child begins to feel emotions and correspond these same emotions to the selves they recognize as their parents or guardians. From these insights, it is important to then consider the impact that this has upon the type of person which we become."
