GE 101 UNDERSTANDING THE SELF

MIDTERM EXAMINATION
OLOTEO, KATLYN MAE C.
BACOMM 1G

TEST I
DIRECTIONS: Read and analyze the following questions. Answer it briefly with utmost
understanding of your self. Answer it in an essay form. ( 5 points each )
Physical Self
1. How do you perceive your body visually?

Our body image refers to how we think, feel, and perceive our bodies. The size, shape, and
weight of your body, as well as individual body parts, can all be considered. It's possible
that your body image has nothing to do with how you look.

2. How do you feel about your physical appearance?

Well, I become insecure from time to time because of my chubby cheeks, but I've
discovered that insecurity just leads to negativity. We should learn to love and accept
ourselves and our body, warts and all.

3. How do you think and talk to your body?

I contemplate and communicate to my body through studying my physical appearance and

caring for my health.

4. How do other people view your body?

Others may think I have a decent and attractive body structure since I used to participate in
physical activities and workouts. They also advised me to maintain my physical structure.

5. Who’s to blame for your body perceptions, be it good or bad?

In my opinion, we are to blame since our bodies are our decision, thus whether you are fat
or thin, you are to blame because you know yourself better than anybody else and know
what has to happen. So, it's your fault if you have a lousy or good body perception.
Because it is you who makes the decision.

6. How can you build a strong and positive body image?

I can cultivate a strong and positive body image by appreciating my body and believing that
refocusing your self-talk is a fantastic place to start. Rather than obsessing about your
body's looks, try noticing and appreciating the incredible things it accomplishes for you
every day.

 7. Define your self-image. What’s your internal voice saying?

Whatever other people say about me, my internal voice tells me that I'm perfect. That I am
capable of doing what others do. Also, if you're exhausted, it's okay to cry; just be yourself.

8. Considering how you look now, is there anything you wish to change? Why or why not?

There isn't a single thing I would alter. My blemishes and flaws make me who I am, and my
originality is what people remember about me. It's acceptable to feel defective at times, but
we must understand that we are all unique in our own ways and that we should be content
with what we have. God gave it to me and i was born to be this way.

9. What are the most important aspects of your self-concept and how do they influence your self-
esteem and social behavior?

My name is such a crucial part of my identity, and since I cherish it so highly, it is quite
accessible. I am hyperaware of my own name and respond immediately when it is spoken.
They are intertwined with profound personal, cultural, family, and historical ties. They also
help us understand who we are, what communities we belong to, and where we fit in the
world.

10. What do the Eastern and Western thoughts teach us about the self?

Eastern and Western philosophy tell us that human beings are born knowing right from
wrong and good from bad, and that they simply need to be encouraged to pursue
righteousness in order to have a full life.

TEST II
DIRECTIONS: Read and interpret the following quotations. ( 10 points each )
“Our bodies are our gardens – our wills are our gardeners.” – William Shakespeare
According to my interpretation of William Shakespeare's words, we can't move our bodies
without thinking about what we're going to do. To put it another way, our willpower is the force
that motivates us to act, to act in order to attain our goals. Where there is a will, there will be an
effort and hard work to realize your ambition.
“If you spent your life concentrating on what everyone else thought of you, would you forget who
you really were? What if the face you showed the world turned out to be a mask... with nothing
beneath it?”― Jodi Picoult
According to my interpretation of Jodi Picoult's quote, if you are always concerned with
what other people think of you, you will become the person they desire to see. You'll forget who
you are and pretend to be someone else. His statements imply that you should be yourself and not
worry about other people's opinions.
“It is not as much about who you used to be, as it is about who you choose to be.”
– Sanhita Baruah
According to my interpretation, Sanhita Baruah's words teach us that we should not focus
on our past or who we were previously, but rather on the route we select or who we choose to be.
To put it another way, make the decision to conquer your obstacles, live the life of your desires,
and be great.
“It is not primarily our physical selves that limit us but rather our mindset about our physical
limits. “ – Ellen J. Langer
Ellen J. Langer wants us to recognize that mindsets reside deep within our inner lives of
ideas and feelings, that they color what we see and have an influence on how we comprehend and
negotiate reality. The lives we lead and live are shaped by our thinking, which is hidden in the
corners of our life. Our "cognitive bias," the self-protective logic that safeguards who we feel we

are, is due to our mindset. Mindsets, thankfully, can be altered, but it requires awareness and
receptivity, openness, and vulnerability to do so.
“Beauty's only skin deep. Everybody has ugly days. We're all made of the same stuff underneath.
Acting right is better than looking right. Realize what make you special beyond looks. Evil can look
pretty on the outside.” ― Shannon Delany
Shannon Delany's quotes discuss the importance of being genuine to oneself. Stop putting
on masks to be loved by others. All you have to do is be who you truly are. There are so many
beautiful ladies and guys out there; even if you don't have their faces, you at least have a
wonderful character or attitude. If you have a beautiful spirit or character, you don't need a lovely
face. Always keep in mind that beauty originates from inside.
