Abstract

This study investigates the roots of socio-psychological issues how an individual’s life is a combination of inner and outer turmoil, what one is capable of, and what one is trying to chase in the restrictions of society, language, culture, and values. This study focuses on the Imposter Syndrome by Suzana Imes and Pauline Rose Clance and Social Identity Theory by Henry Tajfel and John Turner to support the argument with the critique Of Necessity and Wanting published in 2020 written by Sascha Akhtar. It shows different stages of a man’s life to collect references and brings into the limelight the causes and results of socio-psychological problems, for integration. By applying both theories on the text it becomes quite clear how one moves towards personality transformation. Furthermore, this qualitative research sketches a research schema for future exploration of social vision and argues the influence that social constancy that different people can have in their community. This research is beneficial in the sense of social angle and about the emotional response of a person to the psychological occurrence.
