Notes to the T eacher
As facilitator kindly asks the learner to discuss his/her output
by sharing the insights he/she has gained during his/her dyadic exchange
or consultation with his/her peers. You may ask the following questions:
1. How do you feel listing down your traits in the first quadrants?
2. What makes you write those traits in those quadrants?
3. How do you find the answers of your peer regarding your trait?
4. How does it feel that others are not aware that you possess some of the
traits you have?
5. How well do you know yourself now? Can you describe yourself based
on what you have learned from the first activity?
What’s New
Self-Development
As an adolescent, it is undeniable that during this year, you find it most important to know
yourselves deeper. You most of the time find yourself asking „what do you really want‟ or „why do
you really like doing these things or being with these people‟.
You may find it queer that you are starting to ask yourself questions but you‟ve got to
understand that you are not the only person who experienced it. In other words, what you are
experiencing is just normal. Now that you are in your middle or late adolescence we can say that
you may have discovered changes in your life, or in your behaviour or attitude that compel you to
discover more.
On the other hand, examining yourself, most specifically how you react on things, your
belief, traits, and values is one of the most complicated things to do in the world. You have to
understand, though, that it is not that simple. In fact, it follows a process.

Self-concept is organized. This stresses out that one‟s perception towards himself/herself is
firm. This means that a person may hear other people‟s point of view regarding
himself/herself but will keep on believing that what he/she thinks of himself/herself is always the
right one. Change on one‟s perceptions towards himself/herself, however, may also be possible but
it takes time.
Aside from the philosophers above, Sigmund Freud who is a well-known psychologist,
neurologist and the creator of Psychoanalysis Theory and the father of psychoanalysis,
proposed that there are three components of personality within us: the Id, Ego and Superego that
certainly play a vital role of how we think of ourselves. Let‟s tackle them one by
one.
The Id. Freud explained that man's personality is driven by pleasure principle. This means
that the nature of Id is to satisfy man's desire without thinking much of the situation.
This nature is being developed at a young age or present from birth. To illustrate this idea let us
take this as an example. An infant will cry if he/she wants to be fed to satisfy his/her hunger.
Definitely, an infant cannot exactly explain what he/she really wants. Also, infants do grab things
and would want to get things on their hands not minding if they hurt nor if they are important or
not. All they want is to get them for they want them. This is the nature of Id, when the id wants it
the rest are no longer important. However, this instinct is controlled by the ego and superego
as these aspects are developed in man‟s life later on.
The Ego. This is the second component of the personality that is developed at
approximately the age of three. This operates according to reality which makes it
possible for the Id to work in a more proper and satisfactory ways. The ego will give a more socially
accepted means of getting the desires and wants of a person without getting to hurt others feelings.
In other words, it is the job of the ego to provide a man some guidelines on
how to behave accordingly while he fulfilled his pleasure.
This component of our personality is manifested whenever we try to satisfy our cravings
without compromising our self-image to others.
The Superego. Freud believed that this aspect of man begins to manifest as a child
turns 5. This is the last component of personality which holds our moral judgments or concept of
right and wrong that are believed to be acquired from the family and the
environment.
This personality is developed as man learns the culture of distinguishing right from wrong
based on the set of guidelines and standards that are known to people which might have been
probably imposed by the people in the community like parents, teachers, elders or the community
as a whole. Therefore, superego directs a man‟s life in order for him to avoid hurting others.
