Who Am I ? Evaluating our Identity on Many Levels
I am sure you have often heard the expressions in people's speech... "I identify with..." "My identity is..." It is how we feel we belong to a certain group or how our belief system is connected with members of a certain group. Our identity forms a bridge between ourselves and culture and communication. Some say we convey our identity when we speak, we do but I also contend that we convey our personal metaphors which can be an identifier as well as unspoken intentions and desires. The metaphoric speech within cultures can lead to periods of confusion and unclear messaging as those metaphors are often subliminal communications. We know that someone has said something that perhaps warrants further investigation but it can also be more overt. For example, we know when a person identifies various groups simply by the way they speak, react to members of different groups, or even gain membership into groups. They can be inclusive or exclusive and you and I may not meet the criteria to be a select member for many reasons.
It is important to understand how we form our personal identities. We need to understand who we are and where we come from. Without that personal depth and insight, we may have difficulty understanding where we belong. We have personal identities and social identities. There is our private side and social side. I am sure you have heard that people never really know who you are completely-that is simply because we have to constantly merge within groups on a daily basis. Perhaps people are more open in an office setting, but they go home and are very compartmentalized in their thinking. Stereotypes develop. We have stereotypes of ourselves and stereotypes given to us by others. But stereotypes seem to develop when communication is not clear.
We need to evaluate our cultural identity, our individual identity, our spiritual identity, and our familial identity. Those are important foundational aspects, and the rest of the identities we possess originate from them.
Please answer the following:
1. Evaluate or dissect your identities that are most prominent and dominant in your thinking.
2. Tell us how you got there.
3. Evaluate your American Individual Identity and what it means to you.
4. Do you find yourself comparing your own identity belief systems to that of your co-workers?
5. Do you talk about it?
6. How does it impact your relationship building with others?
Instructions:
please answer all 6 questions accordingly. Each answer should have the question re-typed following the answer. A minimum of 500 words in all excluding the re-typed questions. No reference is needed.

Social Intelligence (SI) is the ability to successfully build relationships and navigate social environments.
Our society puts a huge emphasis on book smarts and IQ, but our relationships effect a much bigger part of our lives.
Social smarts are far more important than your book smarts.
Building strong social relationships is worth the effort:
Strong relationships improve our immune system and help combat disease.
Loneliness and weak relationships are one of the major sources of stress, health problems and depression.
Our relationships affect every area of our lives–from colleagues to spouses to friends to kids.

Interpersonal Communication and the Self
1
Section 1
COMMUNICATION AND
THE SELF-CONCEPT
Interplay
2
Communication and the Self-Concept
Self-concept: relatively stable set of perceptions you hold of yourself
Self-esteem: part of the self-concept that involves evaluations of self-worth
How does high or low self-esteem affect communication behavior?
All individuals hold a specific perception of themselves, and one piece of such perceptions is feelings of self-worth. People who feel good about themselves have positive expectations about how they will communicate, and those feelings increase the chances that communication will be successful (the same is true for negative evaluations).
3
How the Self-Concept Develops
Reflected appraisal: A mirroring of the judgments of those around you
Significant others: People whose evaluations are especially influential
Social comparison: Evaluating ourselves in terms of how we compare with others
Reference groups: People against whom we evaluate our own characteristics
An individual’s self-concept develops over time, influenced by supportive messages from others, especially those who are particularly influential in our lives, and the way we compare ourselves to other people.
4
Characteristics of the Self-Concept
The self-concept is subjective
We inflate and/or underestimate our self-perception
Why?
Obsolete information
Distorted feedback
The myth of perfection
Social expectations
Sometimes we view ourselves more harshly than others view us, and sometimes we view ourselves more favorably than others view us. This is related to the fact that sometimes we let our past influence the way we view ourselves, we let overly critical messages influences us the most, we try to be perfect, and we live in a society that tends to reward those who actually downplay their strengths.
5
Characteristics of the Self-Concept
A healthy self-concept is flexible
The self-concept resists change
Cognitive conservatism: Seeking information that conforms to an existing self-concept
Human beings change overtime, and the self-concept can change, too – but typically, it is difficult for such changes to occur because we often try to confirm our existing self-concept instead of allowing it to adjust.
6
The Self-Fulfilling
Prophecy and Communication
Self-fulfilling prophecy: When a person’s expectations of an event and his or her behavior based on those expectations make the outcome more likely to occur than would otherwise have been the case.
Four stages:
Holding expectation (for yourself or for others)
Behaving in accordance with that expectation
The expectation coming to pass
Reinforcing the original expectation
Sometimes, the things we expect to happen influence our behaviors to the point that those things we expect are even more likely to occur because the belief is being reinforced.

MONICA’S POST:
I used to think that culture was the values and beliefs of a group of people. But our text helps to understand what culture is. According to our text “culture is defined as the relatively specialized lifestyle of a group of people that is passed on from one generation to the next through communication not through genes” (Devito, J.A., 2016, Sec. 2.1). In order to understand culture we can look at values, beliefs, language, and their way of communicating. We must look at the differences from culture to culture such as is it individualistic or collectivist orientation, the power structure, masculinity and femininity, their tolerance for ambiguity, orientation and indulgence and restraint. (Devito, J.A., 2016). All of these factors influence communication. “One reason why culture is so important is that interpersonal competence is culture specific, what proves effective in one culture may prove ineffective in another” (Devito, J.A., 2016, Sec. 2.1). We may have certain attitudes about things based on the culture we were raised in. In order to communicate effectively these attitudes and beliefs must be set aside. We have to have an open mind and see things from others perspectives. I was raised in a family that instilled good morals and values in me, I am a spiritual person not a religious one and I find all religions have one thing in common putting others needs before our own. I see everyone as my equal and have a positive outlook on life. I am mindful and considerate of others perspectives.
Cultural orientation is important for interpersonal communication when working as a human service professional for many reasons. First what is effective in one culture may be ineffective in another. Understanding the values that other cultures hold helps to promote effective communication. Understanding the religious beliefs of others is beneficial as well. For example if I was working with a client with SUD who was an Atheist and told them to look into spirituality or religion to help them find sobriety this might be offensive to them. So knowing their religious beliefs would be helpful in communicating with this client. The more we understand other cultures the better we will be at interpersonal communication with those individuals.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
