He approaches the Western philosophy. He is known chiefly through the theme of humanity with particular tools that include writings of his students Plato and Xenophon, and the experience, reason and language. plays of his contemporary Aristophanes.

(Social Culture provides structure and meaning in our lives Perception and Social Cognition, n.d.) (Culture and Personality - UTSA, 2020). Cognitive consistency can be defined as the concept that individuals have a preference for their thoughts, beliefs, knowledges, opinions, attitudes, and intents to be congruent, which is to say that they don‘t contradict each other. (Cognitive Consistency, 2020) Our sense of self is at the core of our being, and consciously and unconsciously, influences our every thought, action, and feeling.
