UNIT 2: CONCEPT AND NATURE OF SELF: WHO AM I?

ACTIVITY 1

To start off with, I am so proud of you. Life hasn’t been kind to you lately but it’s okay to feel as if you’re
not doing well as you are supposed to. If you need a moment to breath, lay on the bed and stare at the
ceiling, then go for it. Be stress free for a moment because stressing is simply a waste of time. But despite
everything, you’ve managed to keep on going and fight through hardship in your life.

Some people might look down on you and you’re often surrounded by toxic people who are disappointed
on you, but it’s not a big deal. Be proud of who you are and don’t be ashamed of how someone else sees
you. Don’t let others tear you down and never let anyone get in the way of your goal in life. Don't waste
your time on people who don't have a faith in you. You don't need that kind of person in your life.
Surround yourself only with people who will encourage and inspire you.

I would like others to see you as an independent and a strong woman who is confident and happy in life
no matter what challenges may come. You are a beautiful creation from God and you can conquer
anything with Him by your side.

ACTIVITY 2:

Socrates: For Socrates, the soul is the person's true self. And i think he try to say the body is like a house
and that's not perfect and permanent and the soul are like people who living in that house.

Plato: Plato held that the true self of human beings is the reason or the intellect that constitutes their soul
and that is separable from their body. I think he realize if the body is have no soul the body is non sense
and he also think what are the cost of feelings, emotion, other body do with a soul and I think that's why
he add a three components of the soul that is The rational, The spirited, and The appetitive soul.

Augustine: Augustine's sense of self is his relation to God. Man or body is a part of the nature it grow
with the soul but he say the when the body is dead the soul is leaving the body, stay and go to like a
heaven with God. I think he wants to say that we have to fear God and live by His grace alone.

Aquinas: For Aquinas he believes man or "self" have a two parts body and soul but have a small
deference because he say body have a two parts The matter and form, matter is a common staff of
everything in our universe. And the Form is an essence of thing or material. I think he want to say the
soul is the only thing who can control the body.

Descartes: Descartes's concept of the self revolves around the idea of mind-body dualism. I think in a
short way he want to say body is non sense without mind

Hume: To Hume, the self is “that to which our several impressions and ideas are supposed to have a
reference. The way he describe the "self" I think he want to say self is like a feelings of human and it's
built by emotions, impressions and any feeling have a personby exploring our world.

Kant: According to him, we all have an inner and an outer self which together form our consciousness. I
understand what he try to say I think he want to say about "self" building our self in not about the past it's
about the future to how you manage your personality as a human for future and that how to make our
"self".

Ryle: Ryle believed that self comes from behavior. We're all just a bundle of behaviors caused by the
physical workings of the body. I think he is the one who say "be yourself".

Merleau Ponty: Merleau-Ponty believed that mind and body are one and according to him it can't be
separated from another one. The living body, his thoughts, emotions, and experiences are all one. In other
words, our “living body” is a natural synthesis of mind and biology, and any attempts to divide them into
separate entities are artificial and nonsensical

Sigmund Freud: Freud's view of the self was multitiered, divided among the conscious, preconscious,
and unconscious. In other words, your desires and social obligations should coincide.

UNIT 3: SELF, SOCIETY AND CULTURE

own and others' well-being.

ACTIVITY 2:

1. What social pressures help shape yourself? Would you have wanted it otherwise?

Academic Pressure and Expectations are the social pressures that help shape myself. As the only
child of my parents, my father has a big expectation for me to have a good academic. A was a kid back
then and I was often compared to my cousin. So I only think about getting the Rank 1 on our class just to
please my father and make him proud of me. I think I would still have wanted it as it strives me to do
great at school but sometimes it still pressures me because people around me expect so much from me.

2. What aspect of your self do you think may be changed or you would like to change?

I’ve been an introvert person who always prefers being at home and locking herself at her own
room. I’m also not that sociable and I’m shy around so many people. I want this to slowly change and
open myself up more. Spend a lot of time outside and try to socialize with other people. I also tend to
think negatively so I also wanted to change this kind of mindset into positive thinking.

UNIT 4: SELF AS COGNITIVE CONSTRUCT

Activity 1:

1. Black-and-white thinking - Juliana Brelnes Ph.D (2016, March 3) https://www.psychologytoday.com

Exclusively positive self-statements tend to be ineffective for the very people who need them most. The
researchers believe that untempered positive self-statements might evoke contradictory thoughts in people who have
negative self, whereas more balanced self-statements might be easier to accept. Balanced statements may also
convey that it is acceptable to be imperfect. Self-compassion helps us accept our imperfections while still striving to
be our best.

2. Seeking social approval or acceptance - Juliana Brelnes Ph.D (2016, March 3)

https://www.psychologytoday.com

Because self-esteem is so closely linked to social acceptance, people may try to boost their self-esteem by
displaying themselves in a favorable light in order to gain social approval. Chronically seeking approval from others
can put you at risk for mental illnesses like depression and disordered eating. Instead of seeking social approval at
any cost, we should remind ourselves that no matter what we do or don’t do, someone is likely to disapprove; being
true to ourselves is more likely to lead to healthy self-esteem than pleasing others.

3. Inflated praise- Juliana Brelnes Ph.D (2016, March 3) https://www.psychologytoday.com

Exaggerated praise can be deceiving, and it can even harm performance. According to one set of studies,
participants who received inaccurate positive feedback on a test spent less time preparing for a subsequent test and
performed worse on it than those who received accurate feedback. Those who were given exaggerated praise were
also more likely to take the test in a distracting setting. Participants who were overly praised may simply have been
overconfident in their abilities, assuming that extra effort was unnecessary because success was so certain. Inflated
praise may not always be conducive to learning and self-improvement. Feedback that fosters a growth mindset,
rather than inflated praise, is more likely to inspire.

ACTIVITY 2:

A 1. It is a trait characterized by overly high self-esteem and self-centeredness.

B 2. It entails self-evaluation.
B 3. It is comparing ourselves with those who are better than us.

A 4. It is a common type of comparing ourselves with others.

A 5. Other similar concept to self.

UNIT 5: SELF IN WESTERN AND EASTERN THOUGHT

ACTIVITY 1:

A 1. It is known as noble man

C 2. A cultural belief that self is seen as an illusion, born out of ignorance
B 3. They possess an attitude of being straightforward and forceful in communication.

Filipinos are very religious
Filipinos have a variety of religions and beliefs, but we all worship our Almighty God. Crosses and other religious
artifacts can be seen in every area of a Filipino home. We also attend church every Sunday, sometimes even two or
three times a week. I also pray every night before bed time, every morning and before meal to gives thanks to our
God for the blessings that he provide for me and my family.

A Filipino like me is respectful especially towards older people. My parents always taught me when I was a child to

Language
There are approximately more than 175 languages and dialects in the Phillipines but Tagalog is widely spoken and is
the most understood language in all of us Filipinos. I spoke 4 language and it was Tagalog, Ilokano, Taglish, and
English.
