UNPACKING

THE SELF
PHYSICAL SELF
THE STANDARDS THAT WE SEE ON VARIOUS INTERNET
PLATFORMS CAUSE MOST OF THIS GENERATION TO
WISH TO HAVE AN ABOVE-AVERAGE PHYSICAL
APPEARANCE. WHEN IT COMES TO HOW THEY WILL
ACT IN SOCIETY, PHYSICAL APPEARANCE HAS GREATLY
INFLUENCED NOT ONLY TODAY’S YOUNGSTERS BUT
ALSO THOSE FROM THE PAST. BECAUSE OF THEIR
DEFECTS, MANY TEENAGERS NOWADAYS SUFFER FROM
LOW SELF-ESTEEM. HOWEVER, AS TIME PASSESS, WE
SHOULD KNOW THAT WE NEED TO EMBRACE OUR
FLAWS IN ORDER FOR OTHERS TO UNDERSTAND WHO
WE TRULY ARE.
PHYSICAL SELF
THE ROLE OF BODILY ORGANS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT
IN EARLY DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES OF A PERSONS LIFE.
LATER IN LIFE, THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHYSICAL AS WELL AS
INTELLECTUAL SKILLS HELP DETERMINE WHETHER THE
INDIVIDUAL WILL ACHIEVE A SENSE OF COMPETENCE AND
ABILITY TO CHOOSE DEMANDING ROLES IN A COMPLEX
SOCIETY.

IN PSYCHOANALYTICAL SCHOOL, SIGMUND FREUD’S

CONSTRUCTION OF SELF AMD PERSONALITY MAKES THE
PHYSICAL BODY THE CORE OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE

“PHYSICAL SELF/BODY IS AN INITIAL SOURCE OF

SENSATION AND NECESSARY FOR THE ORIGIN AND
MAINTENANCE OF PERSONALITY” -WILLIAM JAMES
SEXUAL SELF
THE SEXUAL SELF IS AN IMPORTANT AND POSITIVE
ASPECT OF BEING HUMAN. SOME OF US MAY HAVE
AWKWARD ISSUES WHEN IT COMES TO SEX. TAKING
CARE OF OUR SEXUAL SELVES IS ESSENTIAL FOR
EVERYONE OF US. UNDERSTANDING YOUR SEXUALITY
IS ONE METHOD CARE FOR OUR SEXUAL SELVES.
EVERYONE’S SEXUALITY IS DISTINCT. SOME OF US ARE
ONLY ATTRACTED TO ONE SEX, WHILE OTHERS ARE
DRAWN TO PERSONS OF ALL SEXES AND GENDERS.
GENDER IDENTITY IS ONE OF THE COMPONENTS OF
THE SEXUAL SELF THAT REQUIRES ATTENTION IN ORDER
TO BE CARED FOR. WE MUST RECOGNIZE AND
COMPREHEND OUR GENDER IDENTITY AND HOW WE
TRULY FEEL.
SEXUAL SELF
GENDER:
IS THE STRUCTURE OF SOCIAL RELATIONS THAT CENTRES ON THE
REPRODUCTIVE ARENA, AND THE SET OF PRACTICES THAT BRING
REPRODUCTIVE DISTINCTIONS INTO SOCIAL PROCESSESS TERM THAT
REFERS TO SOCIAL OR CULTURAL DISTINCTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH A
GIVEN SEX; IT IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED TO BE A SOCIALLY
CONSTRUCTED CONCEPT. GENDER UNDERLIES ASSUMPTIONS
REGARDING ‘MASCULINE’ OR ‘FEMININE’ BEHAVIOUR.

SEXUALITY:
YOUR SEXUALITY IS ABOUT WHO YOU’RE ATTRACTED TO SEXUALLY
AND ROMANTICALLY. HUMAN SEXUALITY REFERS TO PEOPLE’S
SEXUAL INTEREST IN AND ATTRACTION TO OTHERS, AS WELL AS
THEIR CAPACITY TO HAVE EROTIC EXPERIENCES AND RESPONSES.
ECONOMIC SELF OR
MATERIAL SELF
IS ONE WHO VALUES MATERIAL POSSESSIONS.
MATERIAL SELF REFERS TO THE OBJECTS AND SPACE
THAT I OR WE CAN NAME OURS. I APPRECIATE MY
MATERIAL SELF BY RECOGNIZING WHAT I DESIRE AND
WHAT I REQUIRE. WE SHOULD KNOW HOW TO LIMIT
OURSELVES IN MATERIAL GOODS. MY PERSONAL
AVERSION HERE IS WHEN I AM UNABLE TO RESTRAIN
MY MATERIAL EGO WHEN PURCHASING SUCH ITEMS
WHAT I LIKED WAS WHEN I BOUGHT ANYTHING FROM
MY WALLET OR HARD WORK.
ECONOMIC SELF OR
MATERIAL SELF

IS THE ABILITY OF INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES TO

MAINTAIN SUFFICIENT INCOME TO CONSISTENTLY
MEET THEIR BASIC NEEDS INCLUDING FOOD,
HOUSING, UTILITIES, HEALTH CARE,
TRANSPORTATION, TAXES, DEPENDENT CARE, AND
CLOTHING WITH NO OR MINIMAL FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE OR SUBSIDIES FROM PRIVATE OR
PUBLIC.

POOREST 5%.

POLICIES THAT MEET SOME PEOPLE;S HUMAN NEEDS, RIGHTS
