1. Where do you see yourself and your understanding of truth on

2. How would you define person? Look at the following

conceptualize, (2) the capacity to interact with others, (3) the
need for boundaries, and (4) the use of language (Doheny,
Cook, & Stopper, 1997). Would you agree? What about
Maslow’s description of humanness in terms of a hierarchy of
needs with self-actualization at the top? Another possibility is
