 INTRODUCTION
ACROSS THE HISTORY SELF HAS BEEN DEBATED,
DISCUSSED, AND FRUITFULLY OR OTHERWISE
CONCEPTUALIZED BY DIFFERENT THINKERS IN
PHILOSOPHY.
IT MORE BECAME POSSIBLE FOR A NEW WAYS
AND PARADIGMS TO REEXAMINE THE TRUE NATURE
OF THE SELF.
THINKERS JUST EVENTUALLY GOT TIRED OF
FOCUSING ON THE LONG STANDING DEBATE SINCE
SIXTH CENTURY BC BETWEEN THE RELATIONSHIP OF
THESE COMPONENTS OF THE HUMAN PERSON.
 WHAT IS THE
RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN EXTERNAL
REALITY AND THE
SELF?
The story of tarzan... .......

The self is active and external

reality is passive in terms of
epistemic requirements. The self
is the subject and the external is
the object
 WHAT IS SELF?
SELF IS AND SEPARATE
SELF IS SELF-CONTAINED AND
INDEPENDENT
SELF IS UNITARY
SELF IS PRIVATE
CONSISTENT
 WHAT IS SELF?

SEPARATE

IT IS MEANT THAT THE SELF IS DISTINCT FROM OTHER

SELVES. THE SELF IS ALWAYS UNIQUE AND HAS ITS
OWN IDENTIT Y, ONE CANNOT BE ANOTHER PERSON.

SELF-CONTAINED AND INDEPENDENT

ITS DISTINCTNESS ALLOWS IT TO BE SELF CONTAINED
WITH ITS OWN THOUGHTS, CHARACTERISTIC AND
VOLITION. IT DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY OTHER SELF FOR
IT TO EXIST
 WHAT IS SELF?

CONSISTENT

BECAUSE IT HAS A PERSONALIT Y THAT IS ENDURING AND

THEREFORE CAN BE EXPECTED TO PERSIST FOR QUITE
SOMETIME,

UNITARY

SELF IS UNITARY IN THAT IT IS CENTER AND POTENTIABILITIES

ARE MORE OR LESS THE SAME, IT IS THE CENTER OF ALL
EXPERIENCES AND THOUGHTS THAT RUN THROUGH A CERTAIN
PERSON.
 WHAT IS SELF?

AND LASTLY.....

PRIVATE

EACH PERSON SORTS OUT INFORMATION,FEELINGS AND

EMOTIONS AND THOUGHT PROCESSES WITHIN THE SELF.
THIS WHOLE PROCESS IS NEVER ACCESIBLE TO ANYONE
BUT THE SELF
STEVENS 1996 STATED THAT
SELF IS DISTINCT FROM THE
OTHER SELVES EVEN TWINS
ARE DISTINCT FROM EACH
OTHER
 WHAT IS SOCIETY?
PEOPLE ARE GENERAL THOUGHT OF AS LIVING
TOGETHER IN ORGANIZED COMMUNITIES WITH
LAWS.
PEOPLE WHO ARE FASHIONABLE AND
WEALTHY
GROUPING OF PEOPLE HAVING COMMON
TRADITIONS.
 WHAT IS CULTURE?
BELIEFS
PARTICULAR SOCIETY THAT HAS ITS OWN
BELIEFS
WAY OF THINKING
SET OF SHARED ATTITUDES
 SOCIAL CONTRUCTIONIST
PERSPECTIVE
-IT ARGUE THAT THE SELF SHOULD NOT BE SEEN
AS A STATIC ENTITY THAT STAYS CONSTANT
THROUGH AND THROUGH. RATHER, THE SELF
HAS TO BE SEEN AS SOMETHING THAT IS IN
CONSTANT STRUGGLE WITH EXTERNAL REALITY,
AND IS MALLEABLE IN ITS DEALING WITH
SOCIETY.

-SELF IS ALWAYS IN PARTICIPATION WITH SOCIAL

LIFE AND ITS DEALING WITH SOCIETY
 THE SELF AND CULTURE
ACCORDING TO MAUSS, EVERY SELF HAS TO FACES:
MOI-REFERS TO A PERSONS SENSE OF WHO HE IS, HIS
BODY AND HIS BASIC IDENTIT Y, HIS BIOLOGICAL
GIVENESS. THIS IS A PERSON’S BASIC IDENTIT Y.

PERSONNE- IS COMPOSED OF THE SOCIAL CONCEPTS

OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE WHO HE IS. IT MEANS TO
LIVE IN A PARTICULAR INSTITUTION, A PARTICULAR
FAMILY, A PARTICULAR RELIGION, NATIONALIT Y AND
HOW TO BECOME BEHAVE GIVEN THE EXPECTATION
AND INFLUENCES FROM OTHERS.
IF A SELF IS BORN INTO A PARTICULAR SOCIETY OR
CULTURE, THE SELF WILL HAVE TO ADJUST
ACCORDING TO ITS EXPOSURE

CULTURE

SELF ENVIRONMENT

OTHERS
 THE SELF AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THE SOCIAL WORLD

ONE IS BELIEVED TO BE IN ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN

THE SHAPING OF THE SELF. MOST OFTEN WE THINK
THE HUMAN PERSONS ARE JUST PASSIVE ACTORS IN
THE WHOLE PROCESS OF THE SHAPING OF SELVES.
THAT MEN AND WOMEN ARE BORN WITH
PARTICULARITIES THAT THEY CAN NO LONGER
CHANGE. HOW EVER IT INDICATE THAT MEN AND
WOMEN IN THEIR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
ENGAGE ACTIVELY IN THE SHAPING OF THE SELF,.

----LUTZ 1993.
 MEAD AND VYGOTSKY
HUMAN PERSONS DEVELOP WITH THE USE OF
LANGUAGE ACQUISITION AND INTERACTION WITH
OTHERS, THE WAY THAT WE PROCESS
INFORMATION IS NORMALLY A FORM OF AN
INTERNAL DIALOGUES IN OUR HEAD.

COGNITIVE AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF A

CHILD IS ALWAYS A MIMICRY OF HOW IT IS DONE
IN THE SOCIAL WORLD, IN THE EXTERNAL
REALITY WHERE HE IS IN
HUMAN MIND AS SOMETHING THAT IS MADE ,
CONSTITUTED THROUGH LANGUAGE AS EXPERIENCED
IN THE EXTERNAL WORLD AND AS ENCOUNTERED IN
DIALOGUES WITH OTHERS

- NOTICE HOW LITTLE CHILDREN ARE FOND OF

PLAYING ROLE PLAY WITH THEIR TOYS?

- -NOTICE HOW THEY MAKE SCRIPTS AND DIALOGUES

FOR THEIR TOYS AS THEY PLAY WITH THEM?
 ACCORDING TO MEAD AND VYGOTSKY

IT IS THROUGH THIS THATBHAS HAD A CHILD

DELINEATES THE "I" FROM THE REST

A CHILD INTERNALIZES REAL LIFE DIALOGS THAT HE

OR SHE HAS HAD WITH OTHERS, HIS FAMILY,HIS
PRIMARY CAREGIVER OR PLAYMATES. THEY APPLY
THIS TO THEIR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL PROBLEMS
ALONG WITH THE SOCIAL AND CULTURAL INFUSIONS
BROUGHT ABOUTBY THE SAID DIALOGS
 SELF IN THE FAMILIES
THE KIND OF FAMILY THAT WE ARE BORN IN AND THE
RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO US( HUMAN, SPRITUAL,
ECONOMICS) WILL CERTAINLY AFFECT US AND THE
KIND OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WE WILL HAVE AS WE
GO THROUGH LIFE.

LEARNING, THEREFORE, IS CRITICAL IN OUR CAPACIT Y

TO ACTUALIZE OUR POTENTIAL OF BECOMING
HUMANS. IN TRYING TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL OF
BECOMING A FULLY REALIZED HUMAN, A CHILD
ENTERS A SYSTEM OF RELATIONSHIPS, MOST
IMPORTANT OF WHICH IS THE FAMILY
HUMAN PERSONS LEARN THE WAY OF LIVING
AND THEREFORE THEIR SELFHOOD BY BEING IN
A FAMILY.

WITHOUT A FAMILY, BIOLOGICALLY AND

SOCIOLOGICALLY, A PERSON MAY NOT EVEN
SURVIVE OR BECOME A HUMAN PERSON

Back to tarzan movie

 GENDER AND THE SELF
GENDER IS ONE OF THOSE LOCI OF THE SELF
THAT IS SUBJECT TO ALTERATION, CHANGE,
AND DEVELOPMENT

PEOPLE FOUGHT HARD FOR THE RIGHT TO

EXPRESS, VALIDATES AND ASSERT THEIR
GENDER EXPRESSIONS
 GENDER SELF
DETERMINATION
THE SENSE OF SELF THAT IS BEING TAUGHT
MAKES SURE THAT AN INDIVIDUAL FITS IN A
PARTICULAR ENVIRONMENT. THIS IS
DANGEROUS AND DETRIMENTAL IN THE GOAL
OF TRULY FINDING ONES SELF, SELF
DETERMINATION AND GROWTH OF THE SELF.
GENDER HAS TO PERSONALLY DISCOVERED
ASSERTED AND NOT DICTATED BY CULTURE
AND THE SOCIETY.
