Module 2: Unpacking the Self

Application Lesson 1: the Physical Self

Name: Lyza Marie A. Castulo Year and Section: BSED Science 1-2

Instruction: Answer the following questions. Write your answers in the given space.

1. What is the significance of beauty in your direct social milieu?

 Beauty is not based physically. It is being based on how you treated the
people around you even in your community. Beauty in the inside of us is
what we really need to achieve its importance. Where the importance of
beauty is true you and your true self. It is really important not to change
anything in your body in order for the society to know you more and to
whom you really are. Physically appearance is temporary, but the beauty
inside is what really important.

2. How this socially constructed concept of beauty affects an individual both in

negative and positive sense?
 It affects in a negative way through discrimination. Where people
nowadays discriminate the way you look. They think that whenever you
are ugly you are bad and whenever you are beautiful you are good. But is
doesn’t make sense, because some is beautiful inside but has a trash
manner inside. That’s why other people used to have surgery to become
acceptable in the society. And it affects in positive way true making each
other self to be confident on what they had. And to accept that beauty
isn’t just appearance but inside beauty matters.

3. How would you explain the famous adage “beauty is in the eye of the beholder?”
 In that adage I can explain that every beauty is different. I depends on the
people on how they see you as a real you and how they you as person. It
means that in every criticism and discrimination we encountered we
always remember that we had different beauty. We don’t need to please
everybody just to be proved that we are beautiful inside and out. We
should really know who we are than others.

I Am Beautiful

“I am beautiful” that phrase is always say whenever I am facing in the

mirror. Although sometimes when I see beautiful girls I get insecure. But every time
I remembered who created me I smile and say “I am beautiful in my own way.

Back when I was in my toddler days sometimes I used to ask myself

why my skin color is brown and not a white like my classmates. Because in my
instincts when have a white skin you are so attracted by many. But I always keep in
mind what my mama said which is “You are the most beautiful girl in the world” she
always say that before I came to school. Back then mama really inspire me that I am
beautiful in my own way. And of course God is the one who made me so I am bless
and beautiful not just physically but also in the heart. To my family and to the people
who really know me I am blessed having them on my life. They always make me feel
blessed and beautiful that’s why I am so thankful for having them.

Sometimes I look onto someone’s face and observe it. It just like I’m
making conclusion if that person is really beautiful no matter what angle you watch
them. I don’t know but I have my attitude like that. It’s just making me like a
scientist observing one’s face and attitude. So by today I made myself clear, that no
matter what people saw me, I am beautiful in my own way. Even though I have not a
face like Angelina Jolie but at least I have a face without a scar. Even though I am not
as white as Snow White at least I have my true color not a plastic one. Even though I
am not sexy as Victoria’s Secret Angels at least I am healthy and no sickness.
Whatever imperfect physical part of my body that I have, I am still thankful that
there is still a person who see me as a real me. Who see me as a beautiful an simple
woman.

I am just very thankful and contented of what I have right now. I have
nothing to change in face, body either in my attitude just to please people that I am
beautiful. As long as there are somebody like God and my family who see me how
beautiful I am, it is an honor for me to thank and accept them.
