HOW DO YOU DEVELOP YOURSELF?
SELF-DEVELOPMENT

- It is the process of discovering oneself by realizing


one’s potentials and capabilities that are shaped over
time either by studying in formal school or through
environmental factors.
- Along this realization, an individual encounters gradual
changes deep within him/ her that may help him/her
overcome unacceptable practices or traits which lead him
towards positive change for his growth or self-fulfillment. It
is also called personal development.
“An unexamined life is not worth living” Socrates

Know Thyself- is an old maxim or aphorism which in


time has been used in varied literature and consequently
gained different meanings. One of its meanings is
recorded in the Greek encyclopedia of knowledge called
“The SUDA”.

Thomas Hobbs- stressed that an individual could learn


more by studying others and that he/she can do this by
engaging himself/ herself to reading books. However, he
emphasized that a person learns more by studying
oneself.
SELF-CONCEPT

-is an abstract and general idea about him/herself


particularly toward his/her unique personality and his/her
own perception about his/her set of values, point of views
and behavior.

Rene Descartes, the Father of Modern Philosophy,


propose a theory that a person’s existence depends on
his/her perception. He also stated that the mind is the
seat of consciousness.
3 ASPECTS OF SELF- CONCEPT
THEORY

1. Self- Concept is LEARNED.

2. Self- Concept is ORGANIZED.

3. Self- Concept is DYNAMIC.


1. Self- Concept is LEARNED.
Can be acquired as soon as the person learns how to mingle
with others and is influenced by the persons environment
and can be a product of the persons socialization.

2. Self- Concept is ORGANIZED.

A person may hear other peoples 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 perceptions may be possible but it takes
time.
3. Self- Concept is DYNAMIC.

As an individual grows older, he/she continues to


encounter problems or challenges that may reveal his or
her self-concept in that particular time or situation. A
person will respond to the scenario based on his/her own
insights and how he perceives himself/ herself in the
situation.
3 COMPONENTS OF PERSONALITY

1. Id- a man’s personality is driven by PLEASURE PRINCIPLE.


-This means that the nature of the man (id) is to
satisfy man’s desire without thinking much of the
situation. The nature of the id is when it wants
something, the rest are not important. However, this
instinct is controlled by the ego and superego as the
aspect developed in man’s life later.
3 COMPONENTS OF PERSONALITY

2. Ego- a man’s second component of personality that is


developed at the age of three.
-This operates according to reality which makes it possible
for the id to work in a proper and satisfactory needs.
The ego will give more socially accepted means of getting
the desires and wants of a person without getting to hurt
other’s feelings.

-This component of our personality is manifested whenever


we try to satisfy our cravings without compromising our
self-image to others.
3 COMPONENTS OF PERSONALITY

3. Superego- this component of personality


holds our moral judgments or concepts of right and
wrong that are believed to be acquired from the family
and the environment.
