What is personality development and its fundamental basis?
Answer:
The concept of personality comes from the word ‘Person’. When we talk of personality it means manifestation of person’s external as well as internal traits.

Fundamental Basis of Personality Development are:

1. Language:
   Language is the medium of exchange of views. Its innovation helped the man to coin vocabulary and give an expression to his innate abilities which otherwise would have died with the man in the absence of language.
2. Dress and Costume:
   One chooses the dress according to the weather conditions, circumstancial factors, economic condition etc. The dress and the style of wearing develop confidence in the person which is the major basis of personality development.
