“The self” goes down into three boxes which are the Philosophical, Psychological, and Cultural Perspectives.

The Philosophical perspective is

narrowed down to three boxes, each named the philosophers: Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Socrates used the Aphorism “know thyself” as his guiding
principle that he passed down to his students. He believed that there are two parts of “the self” which is the physical and the soul. The physical is
changeable, it imperfect and dies, it is what our naked eyes see in the mirror, our physical body. While the soul on the other hand is unchanging and
eternal, it survives the death of the physical body in the physical realm. Plato, a student of Socrates expanded this idea and added the Three Components of
the Soul which is the rational soul, spirited soul, and appetitive soul. The appetitive soul contains all our pleasures, desires, physical satisfactions and
comforts. The spirited soul is the part of the soul that gets into a temper, and rational soul is our conscious awareness.

The psychological perspective focused on the psychodynamic theory, which is comprised of three different sections with the named of the writers
or authors. Ernst Von Brucke introduce psychodynamics at 1874, who held the view that all living organisms are basically energy systems to which the
principle of the conservation of energy applies. Sigmund Freud then used the term psychodynamics to describe the processes of the mind as flows of
psychosexual energy (libido) in an organically complex brain and coined the term psychoanalysis. Later on, these theories were developed by Carl Jung,
Alfred Adler, Melanie Klein, etc. In terms of cultural perspective, cultural psychology is the study of how people is shaped by culture and how culture
shaped them. Mind and culture are inseparable in the sense that cultural practices or activities influence our learning processes, like language, values, etc.
