THE Self Embedded in Culture

The document discusses how the self is embedded in culture through the ability to manage differences between selves. It distinguishes between the cultural self, which is shaped by one's culture, and the actual self, comprised of feelings, thoughts, experiences, biology, psychology, language, and memory. The self maintains a solid identity in relation to its surrounding culture. Loss of culture through assimilation or lack of interest can degrade one's sense of self.
