SOCIOLOGICAL SELF  He believed that every person has an Archetype called persona. Persona The side of the personality that people show to the world. Jung believed that each of us should project a particular role. We should not confuse our public face with our complete self. If we identify too closely with our persona, we will remain unconscious of our individuality and will be blocked from attaining self-realization SOCIOLOGICAL SELF  Persona We must acknowledge society but if we over identify with our persona, we lose touch with our inner self and remain dependent on society’s expectations of us. To become psychologically healthy, Jung believed, we must strike a balance between the demands of society and what we truly are; To be unaware of one’s deep individuality is to become society’s puppet.

Ethnography Came from the Greek word ethos means group of people, class or tribe and graphein means to write or to record. Collecting data regarding ethnic groups requires the anthropologist to observe, interview and record their life.

Example: Plants, animals, ancient tools or garbage that provides stories about utilization and actions Fossils - are the preserved remains or traces of living organisms, such as plants and animals, from the past. They can include bones, teeth, shells, and even imprints left by organisms. Artefacts - on the other hand, are objects that have been made or modified by humans. These can include tools, pottery, weapons, and other items that reflect human culture and activities. ANTHROPOLOGICAL SELF  Studies humans as organism. It involves studies in evolution of human species, changes in modern populations, human genetics, human growth and medical anthropology (changes in life expectancies). Biological anthropology, also known as physical anthropology, is a subfield that examines the biological and behavioral aspects of humans, their ancestors, and related primates from an evolutionary perspective.
