Essay Topic: "Man is unthinkable outside of society" (L. Tolstoy)
In literature, we can look at Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe . Although Crusoe lived in isolation, he remained a "person" only because he had already been socialized in England. He used the knowledge, language, and religious values he acquired from society to survive and maintain his sanity. This shows that even in physical isolation, the "social" within a person is what keeps them human.
Use terms like socialization , personality , individual , and social norms to gain points for theoretical knowledge.
