Self-concept

A concept is a guideline for how we combine fragments into a whole, what he calls separate fragments, is identified as a manifold. Accordingly, a concept is a guideline for how we synthesize a manifold. The account of synthesis enables us with the ability to apprehend and recollect experiences, leaving us with the categories. Furthermore…

are more destructive than they may seem at first glance; they both gradually rot away at individual’s sense of self, and poison their thoughts and emotions with negativity. However harmful and seemingly uncontrollable these states may be, constant perseverance can render them harmless. In A Separate Peace by John Knowles, Gene overcomes his overpowering insecurities, smallness of self, and jealousy in a deadly struggle against his own twisted human nature. Finny’s confidence and natural…

Perspective is important. Perspective can be equated to perception, and our perception is how we see or understand things. These things hold great power over how we see our lives. In Rory Sutherland’s Ted Talk “Perspective is everything” he talks about how powerful perspective is and how changing your perspective can the enrich the livelihood of your life. His main ideal is that most people are happier when they feel they are in control of their life. There is power all around us, we hold power…

Paulo Freire’s ‘the banking concept of education’ states that a teacher is a depositor and the student is a bank account. His solution for this is ‘problem-posing education’ which in essence is taking that deposited value and investing it forward in their future and allowing them to invest the capital in different locations without restrictions. But there is a middle ground where you can use problem-posing education with the banking concept in a meld of the old and the new, meaning that if you…

According to Forbes (1995), in order for a normally embodied thinker to think about concepts such as brain, in and vat, she “must somehow be informationally linked to” instances of those concepts (206). However, Forbes does not consider (and it seems to me that he does not think he needs to consider) what particular sorts of “informational links” are sufficient to enable a thinker to think about those concepts, though he suggests that an is-and-always-has-been BIV has no such informational links…

“Doing Nothing is Something” by Anna Quindlen talks about how when people are doing nothing they are actually said to be doing their best work. First off, nobody ever has time where they have absolutely nothing to do. Everybody always has things to do they just might not want to do them. So, they ignore them until they either decide to do it themselves or they have no choice. If kids had more time to do nothing it would be really helpful because no kid can just sit and do nothing. Eventually…

The Self-Determination Theory and Actualization of Human Potential article is about the concept of human potential. The article refers to early theorist such as Maslow (1943) and Rogers (1951) which introduced the concept of highest human satisfaction through reaching one’s height of potential. This concept explores complexities beyond conditioning. The idea of actualizing begins with an organismic meta-theory, genetically endowed with capabilities that can reach ultimate potential within…

When a child has hit the preschool age they become more and more independent from here on out. They no longer need an adult to be able sustain themselves. This is because children have learned what they need to do to survive and how to self-sustain. Now an adult will obviously still need to do the large things such as prepare and serve the food but the adult will no longer need to feed the child or clean up after them. Because of this parents begin to have more respect and trust for the Childs…

1. What other labels, like frequent flyer, exist in your surroundings that create a bias as to how we treat others? What are the consequences of labeling people? A common label that exists in everyday life is idiot, or any word that indicates unintelligence in someone. Once this word is diagnosed to someone, anything that person does that contradicts the person’s intelligence is denied by the diagnoser. Similarly, as soon as Amy’s mother was thought of as a hypochondriac, or “frequent…

In Pennsylvania, students may not be introduced to the concept of culture until after fifth grade, as the state and national core curriculum shies away from the general topic until middle school. More specifically, the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District specifies that between kindergarten and fifth grade, the children will “explore the themes of neighborhoods and communities,” and then “learn about United States geography and history” (Curriculum & education). Thus, even though…
