and what we do.

10. Lesson 1:

11. “Do you know
yourself?” .

12. Self
 is commonly defined by the following characteristics:
separate independent
Self-contained unitary
consistent private

13. When we talk about the self, being
“separate,” it means it is distinct,
different and unique from others.

14. When we are talking about
“self-contained,” we describe its
existence as having its own
independence.

15. Nevertheless, although it is relatively easy
to make another “self” in this age of social
media and advance technology, the “self” is
very much consistent and persisting.

16. The Self is unitary in that it is
the center of all experiences and
thoughts that run a particular
person.

17. Lastly, the self is private. A
person may sort out
information, feelings and
emotions, and thought
processes within the self.

18. You can create or
nurture what you can
be (ideal self) or
maintain/improve your
current self
(actual self).

19. IDEAL SELF pertains to the image or
aspirations of what you want to
become.
ACTUAL SELF as the term implies
“actual”, is your present self that you
see on the daily basis. It is the self
that is constantly keeping in touch in
your everyday experiences.

21. 1. YOUR OWN OBSERVATIONS
 In the process of self-introspection, that
may help you reevaluate your
motivations and, in real-time, observing
what you do at this moment is one of
the significant information about your
interest or dislike.

22. 2. FEEDBACK FROM OTHERS
 Positive and negative criticisms also
create an impact on self-concept. People
talk about us or how they discriminate us
give an important aspect in shaping the
self-concept.

23. 3. CULTURAL VALUES/ CULTURAL
GUIDELINES
 Self-concept is also indirectly influenced
by cultural values. In the study of Cultural
Psychology, in this age of technology
and social media, we accept our
differences, especially on how we accept
the culture and beliefs of others.
