    The document discusses different perspectives on the unity of consciousness and the self. It covers: (1) Philosophers like Descartes who argued for a unified consciousness rather than fragmented selves. (2) Personality theorists like Allport who proposed multiple sub-selves that shape behavior. (3) Roger's distinction between the ideal self (who one wants to be) and real self (who one actually is), and how alignment between them leads to well-being. (4) Debates around whether people have multiple selves depending on social context, or a single unified selfhood defined by integration of experiences.

    -THE UNITY OF CONSCIOUSNESS

    -ONE SELF OR MANY SELVES


    -ALLPORTS PERSONALITY THEORY
    -IDEAL SELF VS REAL SELF
    -MULTIPLE VS UNIFIED SELVES
    THE UNITY OF CONSCIOUSNESS

    The unity of consciousness was a central topic for classical


    modern philosopher (from 1600s to 1900s). This idea was push
    by Descartes ,Kant, and James to name Rene Descartes, the
    mind (that is thinking, experience being) is not made up, thus, it
    cannot be a physical substance because anything material has
    part (skirry, 2005) Descartes claimed that this "being" is of
    unified consciousness and not composed of merged fragment
    (Book & Raymont 2017)
    ONE SELF OR MANY SELF

    Contemporary psychological studies challenged the notion of a


    single distinct "only one " notion of self several major
    personality theorists proposed that the mind is made up of
    several sub-selves
    ALLPORTS PERSONALITY THEORY

    Phycologist Gordon allport (1961) proposed his "personality trait" is


    your your essential charatheistic that never, ever change and stick with
    you all your life moreover, these trait shape who you are (how you
    think ,feel or behave, etc.) in any given day (Hall & clindsey 1957
    Morris et al, 2002 ).
    IDEAL SELF VS REAL SELF

    Roger Further divided the self into two categories the ideal self
    and the real self. The ideal self is the person that you would like
    to be , it is your concept of the "best me" who is worthy of
    admiration.

    The ideal self include:

    1.Notions influenced by your parents.


    2.What you admire in other.
    3.What society as acceptable, and
    4.What you think is in your best interest.
    The real self is the person you actually are. It is how you behave right at
    the moment of a situation. It is who you are in reality how you think, feel
    or act at present.
    The importance or alignment

    According to Rogers. If the way that I am


    (The real self ) Is aligned with the way that
    I want to be ( The ideal self) ,then I will
    feel a sense of mental well-being or peace
    of mind. In other words when your real
    self and ideal self are very similar you
    experience congruence.
    When there is a great inconsistency between your
    ideal and real selve or if the way you are not aligned
    with what you want to be then you are experience a
    state Rogers called incongruence
    MULTIPLE VS UNIFIED SELVES

    William James (1890) said "property speaking a man has as many


    social selves as there are individuals who recognize him and carry on
    image of him in their head "

    On the other hand, social psychologist Roy Baumenister (2010)


    said " but the concept of the self loses its meaning is a person has
    multiple selves........ The essence of self involve in integration of
    divers experiences into a unity : in short, unity is one of the defining
    features of selfhood and identity.
