QUIBIN, Charles Vincent M.

BSEMT 2-A
GECC 108 – Understanding the Self
Lesson 2.1 Activity

I. Plastic surgery animation.

1. How do you feel about the video?

* It didn’t affect me at all because the video is represented in animation and the video is about
changing herself into something that interesting to other people.

2. To what extent you are influenced by your culture and the social media as to how you view
yourself?
*I think it influenced my personality on how I speak to other, on how I live, on something I want
to eat and other more. It is because of what they called experience, from them asking you to
“try” turns into “wants” so that they got covered some of my personality.

3. If you are given an opportunity, would you change your body? Why?
*Not at all, because I’m satisfied on my body even if I’m slim my body is healthy.

4. What are your insights about it?

*I think I don’t want to be changed mentally and physically.
II. Listen to the song “Beautiful” by Christina Aguillera (30 points)
Study and understand the lyrics. Make a Reflection Paper with the title, "On Being Beautiful"

On Being Beautiful

Most of our challenges in life come from not knowing ourselves and ignoring our true
virtues. This song talks about staying positive even when you're having a rough day and being
beautiful in your own way. The majority of our life's troubles stem from a lack of self-awareness
and a disregard for our genuine virtues. We've all had days when nothing appears to be going
our way. Acceptance and appreciation of diversity are the lessons here. Consider an universe in
which there is only one type of flower, animal, bird, tree, and human. We persuade, criticize,
and control others in order to get them to think and act in ways that we believe are correct. Be
brave and choose to be optimistic. We have a strong tendency to believe what we say, a change
in our attitude toward difference. I as student it is a big impact on my social life so that’s why
being calm is my priority.
