    Study Notes

    • This unit explores the self from various perspectives, including the physical, social, psychological, anthropological, and philosophical viewpoints.

    Lesson 1: The Physical Self

    • The physical self encompasses the tangible, material aspect of a person, unlike the mental, emotional, spiritual, and other human dimensions.
    • Physical differences exist between males and females, with males typically being taller, having more muscle mass, and a greater aerobic capacity, and females typically having a higher proportion of body fat and wider pelvises.
    • Puberty brings significant physical changes due to hormonal fluctuations.
    • Body image and self-esteem are significantly impacted by cultural beliefs and societal standards of beauty.

    Lesson 2: The Sexual Self

    • Human beings are born male or female, as determined by their sex chromosomes (XX for females, XY for males).
    • Sex organs and hormones (testosterone in males, estrogen and progesterone in females) develop and change significantly during puberty and throughout life.
    • Secondary sexual characteristics develop during puberty in both sexes.
    • Sexual maturation is signaled by menarche (first menstruation) in females and nocturnal emission (wet dreams) in males.

    Lesson 3: The Material/Economic Self

    • Material possessions are often seen as an extension of self-concept.
    • Identifying with material possessions can be influenced by personal values and social factors.
    • Consumer culture can heavily shape our perception of needs versus wants, and our identity.

    Lesson 4: The Political Self

    • The concept of the Filipino identity is complex due to interactions with various foreign cultures.
    • Filipino values and traits, such as utang na loob, bayanihan, and pakikisama, have been shaped through history and traditions.

    Lesson 5: The Spiritual Self

    • Spirituality is a connection to something greater than oneself, often expressed through religious beliefs and practices.
    • Religions provide frameworks for understanding the meaning of life and the universe.

    Lesson 6: The Digital Self

    • Online identity is a representation of the self constructed and presented on the internet, different from face-to-face interactions.
