My Self Concept Analysis

518 Words2 Pages

One thing that has affected my self concept occurred in one of my classes in middle school. While the teacher brought up something she had seen on the news about troubles with the economy, the conversation became more self involved. Students began to chime in with their own personal experiences that they have had happen in their lives. As I listened to the other students, I realized that not everyone’s situation is the same as mine. Since the discussion wasn't directed at me in particular, and it was more of a class discussion, when I left I didn't feel particularly good or bad about the conversation. I felt more educated about other people's positions and backgrounds. I learned about how some people's family lives differed from mine. In

    In completing the Reflected Best Self Exercise, I feel I not only have a better understanding of my strengths but also a better understanding of how others view my strengths. My best self portrait shows the underlying factors that show who I am and I see many aspects of it present in my every day life. Everyday is a battle with anxiety and depression, but a battle I win. I do not let my anxiety make me back down from what I stand for or what I believe is right, and my depression will not limit my opportunities to achieve my goals. I work hard every day, studying, taking notes, learning and adapting my knowledge, because I am focused and motivated to do well in school. I juggle multiple tasks everyday involving both schoolwork, stuff at home,

    This personal reflection was critical in my ability to process everything I had gone through, giving me time to grow from it. I spent most of my time reflecting on the negative aspects of my character that I learned while I was in school. The character trait that I reflected upon the most was selfishness. I believe this trait stemmed from a means of survival and self-preservation, and did not come from a place of a total disregard for others. I feel ashamed when I reflect on my behavior, but also thankful because it allowed me to view myself at my worst. Being home also granted me time to think about the positive attributes I had learned more about, such as willpower, self-motivation, self-reflection, personal development, and discipline. It showed me that these positive traits were stronger than I even thought possible. After those first few weeks at home, I could process the information without the stress of school, allowing me to come to my final overall

    In regards to identity and self, I find the argument for the Relational Self to be the most compelling. Adherents state that the only way see ourselves is in relation to others. Taylor stated, “I must acknowledge my belonging before I can understand myself.” Hegel furthers the argument stating that a person is only free and independent when person isn’t captive to his own desires or some external force. I find this view to be the most correct as self, at least in part is defined, by our environment.

  • Interpersonal Reflection Essay

    2013 Words  | 5 Pages

    I learned that I thought, that I had more Self-awareness (chapter two) then I actually do. I always thought that my self-awareness was good until I realized what it really was. Self- awareness makes you ask the question who am I? allowing you to view yourself as a unique person and to reflect on your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I realized that I had a lot of learning to do. For example; when I was in high school, I thought that the reason I didn't do well was because of the hard ships that I was going through but in reality it was because I wasn't aware that my ability to work hard and study was slacking. I had to learn how to work ahead and plan a schedule of some sort in order to stay organized. I learned that my Self-esteem (chapter two) which is the overall values, good or bad, that we assign for ourselves. is very low. This surprises many people, I have always been told that I am a good optimistic person, but unfortunately all I saw was my flaws and problems making me have very little self-esteem. However, through this year and my classes I gained two things that improved my self-esteem very much. Those two things include leadership and confidence, for example; I am the student leader and advisor for my alternative high school, I gave a speech to our congressmen and the press to share information about my alternative high school and I help students achieve small things like

    Erik Erikson composed a theory of psychological development that was composed of eight stages. Erikson’s theory focuses on how personalities evolve throughout life as a result of the interaction between biologically based maturation and the demands of society. According to Erikson, “Each stage of human development presents its characteristic crises. Coping well with each crisis makes an individual better prepared to cope with the next.” (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2013, p. 314) According to Erikson’s eight stages of development, I have only been through six of the eight stages.

  • The Selfhood Of The Human Person Analysis

    905 Words  | 2 Pages

    John F. Crosby in his work, The Selfhood of the Human Person, attempts to provide an advancement in the understanding of the human person. Persons are conscious beings who think and know they are thinking. He claims persons are not merely replaceable objects, but characters who cannot be substituted or owned. Crosby describes personhood as standing in yourself, being an end to yourself, and being anchored in yourself. A feature of personhood is that persons can be conscious of everything in the universe while the universe acts on them. Additionally, personhood means persons exist for their own sake and not for the sake of others. However, persons who are centered in themselves often give of themselves. Persons are incommunicable unlike any other piece of creation. A quality of the incommunicability of persons is action. Aquinas explains person are not acted on but act through themselves.

  • Reflection On My Self-Concept

    1806 Words  | 4 Pages

    A reflection of the self is an important tool to use to figure out whether or not your self-concept provides you with a positive self-esteem. First ask yourself, ‘who am I?’ and once you figure that out, determine if your perception of yourself is a positive one. If it’s not positive, you might want to consider making a change very quickly in order to live a fulfilling life. An even more important tool is to compare your own self-concept to the perception others have of you. I interviewed four people and asked them three questions. Those questions were as follows. “How do you perceive me physically? How do you perceive me socially? How do you perceive me psychologically?” Their overall physical perception of me is, I am beautiful,
