You can identify yourself both physically and socially. Physically being your physical features while socially includes your traits, values, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. I define my self-concept through my characteristics such as dedication, procrastination, believing in God, valuing relationships, and generous behaviors and attitudes. I have strong as well as weak characters that affect my self-concept. My strongest characters are dedication and being strategic towards achieving the goals I set to accomplish. In the process, I learned that I am relentless I would …show more content…
I have a tough attitude towards spreading a written rule of law and a constructed government. I believe that it can potentially change a person’s life individually and collectively. Since I lived under a corrupted government, I have a strong having stronger government that works for, by, and to the people. Almost all African countries face a corrupted government, and most of the people cannot make any change. It became brighter for me after I moved to the U.S. In Ethiopia, people do not talk about politics freely due to fear for getting under the government radar. This is even for the educated people, but the others, the larger population, are filled with propaganda. They do not believe that there can be a better government since they have not seen better unless it was history. I think people need to be educated through uncensored media and know the truth. This attitude makes me feel like I have a responsibility to share what I know and make change. In addition to attitude, behavior also enhances my self-concept. Of many other behaviors, my behavior to helping people stands out to me. There is a certain type of satisfaction that I get from helping someone. There are times where I might not be in a good mood, but most of the time if someone asks me to help them, I would be happy to help. Last summer I worked with Teen Connect, a program where we assist older citizens with any type of technology. Older people are very difficulty to work with. They can annoy you by repeating the same questions. For instance, an old lady came to get help on returning a weave someone bought her online. She kept asking us to return it even though we told her that it was not refundable, but we reached out to the company, explained the situation, and they were decent enough to send her another one. However, I enjoy seeing them satisfied at the
Having character is something that is really important, but to have character you have to have respect and I feel that I have that quality. I represent my school in a respectful manner in and outside out school. With that I feel that I show a lot of character of who I
My character is Doodle from “The Scarlet Ibis.” I feel as if he has these three traits within him. They are Crazy, Motivated, and Trusting. I say he is crazy because in the very start of the story Big Brother says “Doodle was just about the craziest brother a boy ever had.”
So what does it exactly mean to be self
It depends on what characteristics are essential to consider someone a person or rather a body. And what makes that person the same person. According to Rowe, a person must have certain traits to consider them an actual person. Some traits he believes are important include the ability to have actions, to have feelings and senses, to be able to remember information, to have thoughts and to present a physical identity such as shape, weight, height and others.
Everyone has character traits that describe who they are, it is not uncommon for people to share some. A character trait Odysseus, from the epic poem The Odyssey, and I share is optimism. I have been optimistic through the hardest of times and the easiest of times, just like Odysseus. I was optimistic in getting a dog because my mom said we could not get a dog until she stopped working. When my mom had stopped working, she said I had the maturity to take care of a dog
Whether it be in the workplace or walking down the street there is always going to be more pressure and judgment being focused on women than men. Why is this? Gender plays a big role on the reflection of our identities to society. We have been brought to believe that there are certain ways men and women should and should not act, dress and talk. These social norms do not just apply to what is acceptable in regards to public safety but rather, it is used as a way to control and evaluate behavior.
There are a few links between an individual’s identity, self-esteem and self-image. An individual’s identity is them, their age, their name, ethnicity and background, their family, also their language and education. Their self-esteem means how much they actually value themselves and lastly their self-image is how they view themselves or see themselves. If they have no identity, for example if they are afraid of how others might see them this links to a low self-esteem which can lead to social isolation and/or they might suffer from depression, then their self-image may then suffer such as they forget to look after their personal appearance, hygiene and how they used to dress. On the other hand if they are happy and confidence with their identity then the individual is most likely to look after themselves and their personal image more such as the way they look, dress, eat healthily and exercise etc.
Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman emphasize the importance of living true to yourself and developing complete self-acceptance. To live a genuine life and completely accept who you are, you must understand your identity and your sense of self. In Self-Reliance, Emerson explains that your identity and your sense of self are spiritual. Whitman argues, in Song of Myself, that your identity and sense of self are based on both your soul and your body. While both Emerson and Whitman allow for intimate connections and friendships, Emerson encourages people to have relationships with a select few, whereas Whitman encourages people to connect with everyone and anyone, due to their different views of self.

This essay will revolve around four main texts, namely ‘The Great Gatsby’, ‘Twelfth Night’, ‘New Selected Poems’ and ‘The Lost Continent’ by Scott Fitzgerald, William Shakespeare, Carol Ann Duffy and Bill Bryson respectively. ‘The Great Gatsby’ is a highly symbolic meditation of America in the 1920s.
Simply put, Sense of Self is our own Self Image. A character may not truly know who he is but he always knows who he thinks he is. This inward-looking view may be right on the mark or not even close. The difficulty a character has is that from inside himself it is impossible to be sure who he is. All he can do is take clues from the reaction of those around him.
According to Lane, self-concept are characteristics that you believe describes you (2008). My self-concept are the two main characteristics that I personally believe describe me the most: empathetic and optimist. I have been in different cases that described that I am very empathetic to the level that I would help somebody out first before helping myself. My parents kept on sharing with me the story of how I got my finger hurt when I was trying

My Self-Concept My self-concept includes a number of different adjectives and roles, these include both good and bad things. The adjectives I use to describe myself are as follows: kind, loyal, selfish, hard working, apathetic, practical, honest, occasionally rude, and procrastinator. As for the roles that I fill, I am a son, a brother, a friend, a student, the oldest son, and a teacher. Self-concept is a product of many things, it is not just simply what a person is.
Self is the ability to know right from wrong, understanding the society norms, behaviors, culture, and values. An example of this is learning and talking the native language, know how to eat from a spoon, and able to communicate with other people. If people or myself fail to experience socialization, they will not possess the acquired skills needed to develop self. This process is required for me to be apart and successful fit in the society.
