How and where we are born often determines the development of our idea of the self and society. The relationship between the two will differ from person to person. As such, do you see institutions (Church, state government, schools, etc.) holding sway over people? or is there some truth to Weber in that the individual being is able to resist the institution alone outside of society? What are your reasons?
Lastly, imagine yourself outside your body, what perspective do you have on institutions? Is your identity influenced by the relationship (or lack thereof) you have with these institutions? Do you think it is possible to be free of it?
