Social, Environmental, & other Life Factors (S.E.L.F) An Overview of Self/Identity Self-identity refers to an individual’s self-concept that is defined in terms of the societal roles with which an individual identifies and associated role-appropriate behavior. Self /identity are used interchangeably it’s defined as the sum of an individual’s knowledge and understanding of self. It’s talks about specific individuals traits that you think you might have. For example, you’re smart, funny and athletic that’s what we called self. And for identity we have a example also like, what is your gender, religion and etc. You can define self/identity through about yourself of who you are and what you are. Nature VS. Nature Nature is what we think of as pre-wiring and is influenced by genetic inheritance and other biological factors. Nurture is generally taken as the influence of external factors after conception, e.g., the product of exposure, life experiences, and learning on an individual. Nature describe behavior’s that are innate that are born to us or genetic determines bio genes or DNA. Nurture describe behavior’s that are result of experiences because of the environmental influences. Both points of view we’re considered to be determinist people acknowledge that a lot of behavior is the result of a mix between nature and nurture. Identity Vs. Self In general, ‘identity’ is used to refer to one’s social ‘face’ – how one perceives how one is perceived by others. ‘Self’ is generally used to refer to one’s sense of ‘who I am and what I am’. Identity consists of representations and feelings and cannot be reduced to a purely cognitive system. “Self” focuses on the cognitive dimension of the Self. Identity VS. Self had a different ways in determining or to explain the two concept. Identity distinguishes or compares one from another while the self refers to the total characteristics or qualities of a person both known and unknown to others Dimensionalities of the Self/Identity The identity of the person is highlighted by a dominant trait which makes him or her distinguishable from others. You will find yourself thinking of remarkable traits that will make other people identity or even guess who you are talking about. You may start describing that person using physical attributes. However, this attempt may be unsuccessful because in many instances the physical description that you are giving can also be seen in other people unless the physical description is so unique and specific to that person. FOUR (4) DIFFERENT DIMENSIONALITIES OF THE SELF  SOCIAL FACTOR  ENVIRONMENTAL FACTOR  HEREDITY FACTORS  Social factors are— the factors in the development of a person which includes all people around us, like our family members, relatives, friends, teachers or professors, and even strangers, that might create an impression on you or affect your actions and thoughts in life. Primarily includes the family in which most of the basic attitudinal and behavioral attributes of individuals are shaped. In this social group an individual does not only acquire biological characteristics (through heredity) but also learn both directly and indirectly certain behaviors and character Environmental factors —are the factors in the development of a person that includes the environmental structure, events, and such, which might have an impact on how a person could grow in all the aspects of his/her life. These influential social groups shaped one’s identity through modeling, limitation, and traits integration. Meanwhile a less obvious factor simultaneously affects one’s being or characters. The environmental factor broadly includes the physical and communal elements present in everyday surroundings, and invariably dealt with by individuals in a specific geographic region or area. This factor covers not only the physical properties of the Example: A person who grew up in a city where competitiveness and resiliency are needed in order to survive would tend to adapt to that kind of environment by consciously strengthening certain traits and skills that will manifest competitiveness. In the process, the harnessed characteristics become an integral part of his or her identity. Hereditary factors — are the factors in the development of the person that includes biological changes and events, that usually affects the physical characteristics of a person. Heredity can be referred to as the non-negotiable factor. If one has the choice of whether or not to adopt the influence of social groups and to change or improve one’s environment. Heredity is relatively fixed and permanent. It readily dictates one’s physical attributes (e. height, complexion, hair etc.), some Person-volition factors —are the most controversial. It refers to the inclination of a person to form and construct a specific identity that will set him apart from others or the active power of making choices or decisions without being influenced by other people. Such a factor emanates from within the mentality of an individual, brought about by the aggregated social-life experience. Sociologists refer to a person exhibiting person- volition factor as deviant or non- conformist. Being one is not necessarily negative; in fact some of the people of this type become trend setters, revolutionaries,discoverers, and inventors. SOCIAL FACTOR ENVIRONMENTAL FACTOR HEREDITY FACTOR PERSONAL-VOLITION FACTOR Section 2: What Philosophy Says about the Self Philosophy of the Self The philosophy of self is a branch of philosophy that explores questions about existence and characteristics of the self that investigates what makes a person the same, individual overtime and examine different theories and perspective on personal identity The self refers to individual sense of identity, it is essential connected to consciousness, awareness and agency. Different philosopher introduce specific characteristics and meaning of the self which transformed from pure abstraction that hold  Classic Antiquity The Greek times: Know thyself - Socrates Philosophers agree that self-knowledge is a pre-requisite to a happy and meaningful life. Socrates also believed that the real self is not the physical body, but rather the psyche(soul). Plato A student of socrates. His conceptualization of the self was profoundly introduced in his dialogue "Phadrus". The main idea of the dialogue is that the "Truth can be distinguished into two forms: metaphysical realm ( mind) and the physical world (body). Plato suggested that the self is fundamentally an intellectual entity whose nature exist independent from the physical world.  Bifurcation Plato divide truth into two Ontos ( ideal) - the ultimate reality which tends to be permanent and spiritual Phenomena - refers to the manifestation of the ideal. Aristotle A student of plato. Aristotle suggested that the ideal is subsumed in the phenomena. And Aristotle called the ideal as essence, and the phenomena as the matter. The Philosophy of the self has been defined through two distinct lens: Empiricism- there is no such thing as innate knowledge; instead, knowledge is derived from experience- either perceived with the five senses or processed with the brain. Rationalism- explains self from the standpoint of what is ideal and true, and not rooted in what is felt by the senses or body. Section 3: What Science Says about the Self Science Perspectives of the Self -understanding world phenomena, explaining how basic life forms - intellectual and practical activity encompassing - systematic study of the structure and behavior of physical and natural through observation and experiment - it classified by two in understanding the perspective of the self: PHYSICAL SCIENCES- influences human development. the central focus of which is the self. SOCIAL SCIENCES- interpersonal relationships Biological/Physiological Science - Science made great advances on explaining human beings - Aristotle have a scientific approach the study of human experience to evolution - Charles Darwin the study of human development, individuality, and the self have been defined, described and analyzed according to specific mechanism BIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE - scientists and doctors explain on how genes from both parents contribute to the characteristics of their offspring through genetics. - including the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms, is a unique identifying part of every individual. -No two individuals share the exact same DNA. -The human genome project, carried out for over ten years (1990-2003) was implemented for the purpose of mapping the PHYSICAL PERSPECTIVE -paved the way for a fuller understanding of the self, as consciousness, a fundamental core of the self, is influenced by inner dynamics and environments. NEUROPHILOSOPHY -attributed to Paul and Patricia Churchland, is concerned with the association of the brain and the mind. In order to understand the workings of the human mind, people must first understand the brain, its functions, and wave activity. -the philosophical notions of free will, common sense, and conscientiousness must be explained in the context of neuroscience as advances in this field seemingly converge with how people think, feel, and behave. A related standpoint was proposed by Maurice Merleau- Ponty, who aimed to unite idealism with empiricism. While his overarching framework focused on he also used empirical studies and research PSYCHONEUROIMMUNOLOGY describes the shaping of the self as similar to how the human immune system functions. The human body is made up of nucleotides, the composition of which makes up the DNA. NATURAL SCIENCE is a fountain of information in understanding oneself, especially in the fields of biology, medicine, cognitive neuroscience, and even chemistry. Social Sciences -understand the physical nature of people, social sciences are concerned with human functioning in the context of society and social institutions. PSYCHOLOGY defined as the study of human behavior, sees the self as a theoretical construct. -the term "self" has been used as an object of several psychological constructs (e.g., self-awareness, self-construal, self-esteem, self-efficacy, self- regulation, etc.). SELF-AWARENESS describes the consciousness of individuals about their strengths, weaknesses, potentials SELF-CONCEPT It is a description of how one looks like, sounds like, and behaves like PSYCHOANALYSIS as proposed by Sigmund Freud, focuses on the "unconscious" BEHAVIORISM behavior should be made from an observable and measurable perspective. SOCIOLOGY meanwhile, is the study of the collective behavior of people within society and focuses on social problems encountered by individuals. ANTHROPOLOGY is the study of human beings and their ancestors through time and space POLITICAL SCIENCE in contrast, is concerned with the participation of individuals in establishing a government ECONOMICS describes and analyzes the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. ABLETES, LIZA MAE ADONIS, KIM ALIBADBAD, FRANCINE LAMOSA, KURT LAWRENCE TULDA, ANGELA MAE VERONA, PATRICIA THANKS!
