            The “I” and “Me” and the Generalized others, of George Herbert Mead, focuses on the effects of the significant others in the development of our perception of the self. In contrast to the study of Charles Cooley, where he believed that the other people are the ones that play a significant role on how we view our selves. Mead instead focused on the significant others, the significant people that may influence to our perception of the self and how those people thoughts of us changes across the lifespan. The special people which Mead refers are the closest people to us, most especially our family, relatives, peers and even your loved one. Mead’s theory highlights the effect of the significant others, their influence in our life to what they expect us to become. In this theory of the social self, we will understand the views, thoughts and expectations of society had of us and how it affects the development of our self. “I” is the individual identity of a person and our pers

Why is it important to know communication differences based on nationalities?

  Why is it important to know communication differences based on nationalities? Elaborate on your answer. The development of a person to become socially capable is a process of development that happens and develops over time. People are not automatically born as socially capable, all of us are conceived equal. In the time when we are babies the most common way infants communicate is through crying and using non-verbal communication. They cry whenever they are hungry, and they throw their bottles whenever they get angry. But as we grow from our infancy, to adolescence, and to our status as young adults. Our ability to communicate develops and in this development, we adapt the things, culture and values from our environment and society. In which adding them all together creates a nurtured identity. We become unique and inherit the culture of our family and community and be influenced by the values and beliefs of our society establishing ourselves as part of the group and the society. B

Dealing with Problems by Lourenzo

  1.  What are the different ways on how people deal with life challenges?  People are not born the same, we are different and all of us faces problems and challenges that are unique and special to all of us. The short film reflects about LIfe and how people solve and deal with their problems in their own ways. Some may deal with their problems by going on headfirst, some may do to resolve their challenges on a rational way like planning and thinking before they act and others may simply let time and everything to pass.

"Think Before You Click!" | Lourenzo Manimtim

  “Think before you click” this is the concept I always keep in my mind whenever I post in social media. I know that whenever I post there will be people who will see, comment and like my posts. And in this scenario, people will build an imagination of who I am and create an identity to describe myself. You are what you post in social media, your actions and posts reflect who you are. People will judge based on what they see, watch, and observe. That is why in social media, I am reserved and disciplined in my posts. I only post what I want and what is needed to post. I keep my conduct online and post only good and respectful things about myself. Like the usual posts I do are my achievements, successful engagement and my family. I like attention and of course fame that is why I post in social media. But I am very selective and keep my posts benign and strictly observed so there will be no problems. I see social media as an art, and like art, art is the expression that immortalized a per

  PLATO SELF   MEMBERS: Manimtim, Lourenzo Gabrielle O.                      Dollente, Hannah Camille A.                     Jaycee Aldrich B. Bartolome                         1.      Do you agree with what (Plato) has concluded about the self? Why ?   LOURENZO: One of the greatest ideas that I like in Plato’s Philosophy is the “World of Forms and Senses”, which argues that Forms, is the perfect ideal world. And senses, or reality, is simply but an imperfect copy of the perfect world. This idea implies the division of reality based on what we perceived that there is perfect world somewhere parallel on what our eyes see and body experience in the world of senses. Plato’s idea in this matter relates the metaphysical philosophy of a world beyond our senses, a world we are part of. This in relation to in his Philosophy, that the self is composed of two things the “ontos” (Ideal) and the “phenomena” (manifestation of reality). To make the explanation short, our selves is c
