Reflect on the results of your ranking:

- Most of my traits are related to what my social life is because my family and relatives doesn’t affect most
of my traits. The environmental factor is the second to the most highest because the environment I lived
in is one of the most factors that influences me.
.

SET B (30 PTS)

1. Differentiate nature and nurture.

- The term "nurture" describes how experiences in the environment and outside influences affect a
person's behavior and development. The term "nature" describes how biology and genetics impact
human growth and behavior.

2. Differentiate self and identity.

- The term "self" describes a person's subjective sense of who they are, which includes their ideas,
emotions, perceptions, and self-awareness. The term "identity" refers to the traits, attributes,
convictions, moral principles, associations, and positions that characterize a person and their self-
perception in connection to others and their environment.

3. What is personal-volition and why it is considered controversial of all the factors of identity?
- An individual's capacity to exercise free will and make decisions based on own preferences is referred to
as personal volition. It highlights the importance of individual autonomy and agency in forming one's
identity and course in life.

SET C (30 PTS)

1. Kindly explain briefly the two general requirements from where SECRETS are meant to be disclosed.
In my opinion, secrets have a special role in human relationships because they are frequently used as safe
havens for private information, intimate secrets, or sensitive information. The choice to reveal or protect
confidential information is influenced by conflicting interests and duties, making the ethical and legal
environment around secrets complicated. Secrets must generally meet two main criteria in order to be
disclosed: they must be necessary for preservation of the public interest or legal or ethical duties. I
believe that whether it comes to deciding whether to reveal secrets, legal and ethical duties are crucial.
Legislation, rules, or contracts requiring disclosure in certain situations can all give rise to lega l
obligations. For instance, legislation may supersede the obligation of secrecy and require people to
disclose specific offenses, such as child abuse or dangers to national security.

2. In answering the question “WHO AM I?” how do we accommodate it through scientificperspective?

Personally, I think that at its core, it delves into the essence of identity, seeking to understand the
multifaceted nature of the self and what defines us as individuals. While traditionally approached from
philosophical and existential perspectives, the question of identity can also be illuminated through a
scientific lens, drawing upon empirical research and theoretical frameworks from psychology, neuroscience,
genetics, and sociology.

However, from a scientific perspective, answering the question "Who am I?" involves exploring the in tricate
interplay between biological, psychological, and environmental factors that shape human identity. One key
aspect is understanding the role of genetics and biology in influencing individual differences. Genetic
predispositions can contribute to various aspects of identity, including physical traits, temperament,
cognitive abilities, and susceptibility to certain mental health conditions. Advances in genetic research have
shed light on the complex interactions between genes and environment, highlighting the importance of both
nature and nurture in shaping who we are.

3. Briefly explain environmental factors in the development of the sense of self.

If asked the question, I would say that the development of the sense of self is a multifaceted process
influenced by a myriad of environmental factors that shape individuals' perceptions, beliefs, and identities.
From the earliest stages of life, environmental influences play a crucial role in molding how individuals come
to understand themselves and their place in the world. In this essay, we will explore the significance of
environmental factors in the development of the sense of self, focusing on key aspects such as family,
culture, peers, and societal norms.

SET D (5 PTS)

1. Hidden Area - Unknown to self and unknown to others.

2. Blind Spot - Unknown to self but known to others.
3. ACCL stands for what?
4. Johari’s Window - Technique that will help people to better understand their relationship with themselves and
other people.
5. Creator of Johari’s Window - Who is Joseph Luft?
