Chapter 11: The Digital Self
Many people might be tempted to view time spent on the internet, with internet friends, as time that could more usefully be spent interacting with "real" people. In my experience, it’s not always that simple. Back in the day, I played a lot of video games and ends up hanging out with my friend a few evenings a week because I didn't really get along with many people at my high school. If I hadn't spent so much time playing multiplayer video games, it’s very unlikely that the time would have gone to hanging out with "real" people. Instead, my time would probably have gone to some even lonelier pursuit. As a social being in this modern world, we have been relying too much on technologies in order to communicate with others. Unlike before, when our parents would write a letter to their friends, send it to the post office, and have the letter given to their friend 6 months later, now that we have these smartphones and computers and laptops, we could send various messages and have it received by the recipient in less than a minute. Life has been way much easier with technologies on board. It has made most of the work faster and easier than before. Looking for informations became quicker than scrolling thru tower-like bookshelves in the library. Printing documents with tons of copies in one go has been very much convenient than the oldschool typewriter. As you can see, everywhere you look, there is technology and it has given so much benefit in everyone's life. However, we should be smart and responsible in using technologies especially in using them to access social media because fake news, scams and cyberbullyings became rampant since smartphones arised. Techonology is good, but being responsible and mindful of the regulations in the social media is so much better.

Chapter 10: Political Self
Leadership begins at home. Until Mom and Dad choose to practice personal accountability in their lives, not much will change anywhere. The working parent who laments the degeneration of society while complaining that younger employees “lack work ethic” fails to understand this: Societal problems, which include all the problems found within our organizations, are rooted in the family. The unaccountable parent who goes to work and criticizes others for acting entitled, fails to ask, "Am I creating entitled children at home?" The mom or dad who fails to lead exclaims, "The finger-pointing in our world is a terrible thing!" but does not look inward with the question, "Am I raising children who blame their teachers when they get a poor grade?" And then there is the parent who asks, "When will my daughter start getting her homework done on time?" but models procrastination at home with the words, "I’ll do it later." At home, parents should be the best example for leadership because later on, school would enhance the skills they were taught at home. In our home, my mom really is the boss. Even my dad couldn't ever argue with her. Nonetheless, my mom's decisions has always been the best for us. Her decisions had never harmed the family because she always thinks through things intently before actually implementing it. As I grew up, this political characteristic has been instilled in my mind which mad me grow into someone who does not do things haphazardly.

Chapter 9: The Spiritual Self
As I reflect back on my spiritual journey, I remember times of questioning God, praying in times of need, and asking why certain things happen the way they do. My journey has brought me through rough patches of my life and times of life learning lessons. Looking back at the past and up until now, I was not the one to attend church every Sunday and pray before every meal. I questioned some of the ways my church wanted us to learn about God. I even questioned God about certain events in life and why they happened. I look back on this as a way to show me how learning from God and about him is not always done in a church. As I make my way through nursing school, I have also learned that many individuals turn to their spirituality, find their faith, or pray that their belief will bring them comfort. My spiritual journey has taught me lessons of each these through good and bad times. My spiritual journey was not perfect and I am still learning from it. This journey has taken me through good times in my life and some really rough times in my life. The bad times never stopped me from changing my faith in God or staying mad at him. I have always learned in church, Sunday school, and church camps that God has a plan for everyone. Those plans will not be perfect and will not be easy. These plans will teach me about life and who I am becoming today.

Chapter 8: Material Self
It is human nature for people to desire material possessions. Our material yearnings are an attempt to satisfy are need to special and wanted. In a world where most of society defines "socially acceptable" as the material possessions one owns such as, the latest clothing, the biggest house, or the fastest car one comes to believe that you need all of these things to be viewed as a part of society. For many, work has taken over community life and has had a major effect on happiness. Advertising has also become a primary determinant of our satisfaction, and is only a small part of a larger materialistic culture in which we are not only enticed customers but also prominent consumers. For me, being able to buy something that I want has been my driving force to save money in order to buy more. Also, it made me want to strive harder so I could afford to buy the things I wanted to have.

Chapter 7: The Sexual Self
Sexuality affects people through defining who they are and how they express themselves. People experience sexuality in a wide range whereby some people get considered as very sexual while others do not experience feelings of sexual attraction at all. These sexual drives could eventually lead to sensations leading two persons in engaging to sex. Although premarital sex is against the Bible, we could not hinder the fact that there are many cases of premarital sex in the Philippines and that is hard to cease from every individual. However, what we could actually prevent is pregnancy. Overpopulation and poverty has been a huge challenge to for country. By this, the government has implemented a law about the usage of contraceptives. However, I do not really support RH Bill because it promotes premarital sex, nonetheless. It tells the teenage and unmarried girls that sex is fine as long you don't get pregnant which clearly would alter the conservative mindsets of Filipino women.

Chapter 6: The Physical Self
A person's basic self worth stems from the standard he sets for himself. In the physical sense, they are things like personal hygiene, personal dress code, and accessories that highlight one's personality. Over time, a person transforms his self image into his identity. As a result, hairstyle, types of clothes, and particular possessions are bounded with a person so tightly that, if ever taken away, would cause drastic depersonalization. It is because that one associates these things so close to himself that an effect of decreasing self worth would emerge. In the absence of things one brands as self-defining, self worth takes a plunge. Our self-concept is fundamentally shaped by one person in particular: our Mother. How our mother responded to our first cries and gestures heavily influences how we expect to be seen by others.

Chapter 3: An anthropological conceptualization of self: the self as embedded in culture
Our culture is a big reflection of our great and complex history. It is influenced by most of the people we have interacted with. Filipino culture is unique compared to other Asian countries, and beliefs apply every day in the life of the Filipinos and reveal how rich and blessed the culture the people have. When children or young people greet or say goodbye to their elders they typically do so by taking the right hand of the elder with their right hand and touch the back the elder's hand lightly on their forehead. It is a way of giving respect to the elders and I believe that is also a way of receiving blessing to the elders. Foreign visitors in the country are treated with the utmost respect. This trait is usually seen during fiestas and holidays where many Filipinos are giving their best to entertain their visitors well. It is amazing to see that even the simplest home along the road opens their home to a stranger. For Filipinos, to be able to serve others gives them honor of showing true friendship. Filipino Hospitality is a trait you can't take away from them. The Philippines is one of two predominantly Roman Catholic nations in Asia-Pacific. Their habit of going to church and often praying reflects that Filipinos have a deep faith and belief when it comes to religion. They are very devoted to religions that sometimes many take the risk of their lives just to touch the Black Nazarine (in Quiapo Manila). For many, it is just a choice between their faith and fears. Filipinos believe that having a strong devotion may lead to a better life and their guidance to face everyday life. The Filipino culture, in general, could be considered as one of the richest culture in the world because we are so much dedicated in the things we have lived up to this day.

Chapter 2: Sociological Perspective: The self as a product of society
As humans, we are learning constantly from everything around us, including how to behave, act and think about things. As an individual I’ve discovered things that have a relation with me. Like the theory of “I” and “Me”, I’m also like that, I contradict myself that people may thought that I have a split personality or what. Second, I sometimes see myself to other people but I sometimes see the negative side of my personality to them that may result to my detachment to them. There is also the Lanuza’s theory. I’ve been into technology thus I only have a little time of communicating with my family. There are times that the post in social media affects me which result to my detachment to everyone. Through this discovery I’ve thought that I depend so much in the virtual world and that I should always open my mind in everything even if it contradicts my opinions. I should always look on the bright side or reasons of every situations. We are the product of society because we are social creatures with an inherently proud, self-serving and self-justifying nature.

Chapter 1: Philosophical Perspective of the Self
There are 12 theories concerning about how a person should perceive oneself. Each theorist, whether a philosopher or not, has given justification to the belief that they dedicate themselves into. It is our job as thinking, human persons, to decide whether to choose one theory and make it our life principle or perhaps, we can make our own theory of the self and use it as our personal guide throughout life.
As a person who lives in this philosophical world together with different kinds of people in their own personal perceptions, I tend to heed the principle which I think would suit my aspirations and would lead me to achieving my goals in life. In driving y life to a fritful and meaningful one, I reciprocate. Reciprocation literally means a mutual exhange or a return in kind or of like value. As a daughter who has been raised by my parents with utmost love, care and support, I've grown to become a woman who knows how to give love to others because I have much of it in me. Reciprocating, you see, doesn't actually mean that whoever you received something from, that something should be given back to them in return. No. Although, yes, you should give back that good deed to that someone, no matter whether they were expecting you to reciprocate or not because that's one way of showing gratitude but what I'm trying to imply here is that, the good deed you received from someone, can also be the good deed you could give to the other; to the world. That's why it is very important to be kind and compassionate to one another because you may never know how a single drop of goodness could create a vast ocean of love in the world.
I know it may sound too cliché but, I dream of a world where nobody is afraid to open up. A world where peace reigns. And this doesn't start from the world itself. It starts in us.
