Sometimes we hear the following sentence: "What can I do, I have such a character."Often, unscrupulous, lazy and passive people tend to write off their shortcomings on the "character that went from birth."But can you do it?What is character?Can I change it to make their own lives (or the lives of others) better quality?
nature of man - is a set of relatively stable properties of the psyche, defining svoeobychie personality, its behavior and relations with the outside world.It determines the character of the image and lifestyle, behavior, relationships.
The basis of character are personal qualities.They identify four main groups that form the character.
The first group includes such human qualities as relevant to society, people around.The concepts of individualism-collectivism, sensitivity, callousness, sociability, isolation is not only called the qualities of a particular individual, but also largely determine the attitude of those around her.
Quality, which unite in the second group, show the relation of man (person) to work.They are lazy, hard work, a penchant for routine work or creative work, initiative or passivity, responsibility and integrity.
The third group of specialists combine qualities of a person, showing, as he refers to himself.These include self-esteem, pride, self-criticism, humility and their opposites: complacency, arrogance, self-centeredness and selfishness, shyness.
Finally, last but not least, an important group of philosophers and psychologists combine the qualities that characterize the relationship of man to material goods and things.Slovenliness and accuracy, negligence and thrift have a great influence on human life.
From this taxonomy can be seen that the quality of any nature can be changed.But I have only one selected quality is impossible: they are all interrelated.For example, you can not get rid of its own mendacity and brutality, ignoring attitude towards others, getting stuck on his egocentrism.
nature of man can be integral and harmonious or gusty and inconsistent.These are the characteristics of people.But to change the nature of possible systematic work on oneself.
In order to determine the nature of the person, make her response, philosophers shared moral qualities of a person into several groups.

- humanism, humanity - respect for human rights, the dignity of his attitude towards any person as the highest value.
- honor, conscience, honor, and some other social concepts associated with positive personality.
- Justice - the ratio of rights and obligations, deeds and retribution.
negative moral qualities:
- swaggering cynicism, rudeness - exposure in the first place the qualities, disdainful attitude towards others.
