    The way that one regards themself, a relatively stable set of perceptions about one’s self, is referred to as self-concept (Adler, Proctor, Rosenfeld 56). Self-concept is a reflection not only of the physical attributes but also the emotional, moral, value, and preference characteristics of personality. The way that someone feels about those qualities will determine their self-esteem, part of the self-concept that determines self-worth. Typically it is thought that a high self-esteem is preferable over a low self-esteem, and while that is largely true, a high self-esteem doesn’t necessarily mean that person will enjoy interpersonal success. A high self-esteem may lead people to think they are more successful than the rest of the world sees them.…

    There is a darker side to self-esteem, people that constantly pursue elevated levels of self-esteem have traits that are similar to those that are associated with materialism. People that make choices based on others perceptions of them rather than what makes they happy are depriving themselves of well-being. They give up their own autonomy, intrinsic motivation, and personally expressive actions.…

    In my personal opinion, I agree with Twenge’s opinion about self-esteem being built in beyond its limits. Self-esteem is a value that should be inculcated in every single person. They should be able to realize that they are all capable and have the ability to be big in life, one way or another. At first, the concept of “self-esteem” meant to be a free person, a person who could decide which path he wants to walk through. As time has passed, this concept has evolved and developed to a level where ME comes before everyone else. It has come to a degree where people think that they should always feel good about themselves regardless of what they do and how they do it. Some people might find this correct, but what they don’t realize is that with such high self-esteem, people can’t make out the difference between good and bad, right and wrong, positive and negative. For example, if parents/teachers tell children that they are very good at everything, they will never be able to identify when they are doing something the wrong way, thus leading to undevelopement of educational thinking.…

    Self-esteem is a way a child feels about themselves. Everyone has it in different degrees. A child with high self-esteem generally feels good about themselves and feels they have a lot to offer. A child with low or poor self-esteem generally feels worthless and that they have little to contribute. Without positive self-esteem it is highly unlikely that a child would have a full, happy and productive life. The development of self-esteem starts very early in life. For example, when a child learns to walk or talk they feel a sense of having achieved something. Praise and encouragement at this point from parents, or people important in their life, boosts the positive feelings they have about themselves and encourages the child to go on achieving. Love, praise and encouragement are essential elements in helping a child develop a positive self-esteem.…

    Self-esteem is the term we use to reference a person’s own idea of their self-worth and value to themselves and others. Because self-esteem levels tend to be stable and consistent it is sometimes seen as a personality trait even though it is comprised of emotions. There are said to be three components of self-esteem as defined by Braden (1969); it is an essential human need for healthy development; it is an automatic feeling from within based on the person’s beliefs and consciousness; and is develops with a person’s thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and actions. Low self-esteem can hinders a person’s ability to positively interact with others and feeling connected which can lead to depression and stress. Too high of self-esteem can potentially lead to someone being vey narcissistic, which can be a character turn-off and people not liking you. A balance could help resolve the stress of fitting in with other in work, school, or a group of possible friends.…

    When someone says the word “self-esteem” the first thing that comes to my mind is a celebrity that has the whole world watching their every move and think to myself, “It must be hard to keep healthy, high self-esteem with the whole world judging what a certain celebrity is wearing or how they fixed their hair just to go to the grocery store.” Self-esteem is a personal evaluation and judgement of one person’s own self. There are different kinds of self-esteem. One kind of self-esteem is high self-esteem, which means a person is confident with their looks, opions, ideas, or anything to do with their own self. If a person has high self-esteem they believe that they deserve respect from other people and they are usually happy. Another kind of self-esteem is low self-esteem. Low self-esteem means a person lacks confidence. Low self-esteem people are unhappy and unsatisfied with their own personal appearance and put little value to their opions. Low self-esteem can cause depression and anxiety. A person can have a mix of self-esteem where their self-esteem isn’t very high but also isn’t low. At moments, a person with mixed self-esteem may value their own opions and at other times start to doubt it.…

    There was a time in the past when being fatherlessness was far more common than it is today, but death was to blame, not divorce, desertion and out-of-wedlock births. All of these are choices that are made, not accidents. In theory, divorce need not mean disconnection. In reality, it often does. According to the Men’s Resource Network, from 1980 to 2011, the number of children living apart from their biological father rose from 21 percent to 53 percent. Of those children, Forty percent have not seen their father in at least one year. And, Fifty percent have never set foot in their father’s home. That leaves 10%----well guess what? Those 10% never meet their fathers at all. Men are not biologically as attuned to being committed fathers as women are to being committed mothers. Growing up without a father may be a root cause of many social ills—from crime to academic failure. If we truly love our children and have hope for a better nation, we must take immediate steps in addressing this problem. Our…

    People have both low self-esteem and high self-esteem, depending on the variance of difficulties in their life. Poverty, drugs, and abuse can all be considered a factor in a person’s low self-esteem. High self-esteem can also be portrayed a negative trait, especially when the individual is viewed as narcissistic. Narcissism is defined as “having an inflated sense of self” (Myers, 2010).…
