Personal Reflection on the Self Paper
In order to examine the concept of the self an individual must know what it is. The concept of self is defined as to be aware of oneself is to have a concept of oneself. The self concept is how we think about and evaluates ourselves. Also the expression self-concept is a general term used to refer to how someone thinks about or perceives them. Did you know that concept of the self actually reaches both into the past and into the future, as we know who we were and who we are? Included in this picture are all the memories, fears, goals and possibilities that remain in our minds. For example, a concept of self from our early life might involve how we looked physically and how we associated with friends and playmates. What we remember of this is part of our personal concept.
Level One Heading Replace the level one heading with the words for your heading. The heading must be in bold font.
Level Two Heading Replace the level two heading with the words for your heading. The heading must be in bold font. Level three heading. Replace the level three heading with the words for your heading. The heading must be in bold font. Conclusion
In the present, our concept might also involve how we work, what success we achieve and, most importantly, if those things are important to whom we think we are. Studies of personality and behavior have shown that as we grow older, our concept of self becomes more abstract and more idea oriented. We begin to make connections between social ideas and political issues, for instance, and judge ourselves on how we fit with these. Deciding if this is good or bad can be part of the self concept, because how we judge our place is part of self. On the other hand, whether our actions or associations are good or bad is a judgment by society.
