Make a reflection paper about material self. You may use your answers from the above
questions in making your paper.
Material self is the concept of one’s self that is reflected based on the tangible
things that you own. This includes the possessions in material things that give us the
identity on how others sees us. Based on the interviews they said that it’s hard to deal
with this situation. Everytime that they saw something new in their eyes they always
grab it. To deal with this uncertain condition they came up with a solution that is to set
aside all the wants and prioritize the needs. Setting limits and avoidance to the
shopping area. Avoid impulsive buying and try to ask yourself if the thing that you
want to buy will be useful. In today’s generation, it is evident that people value more
on the material things. They find happiness on the things that can satisfy their
possessions over the little things. It is fine to improve our material self in order to
boost our outer self, but it is also important that we have to set our priorities because
there are greater things that can satisfy us aside from this material things.
