A Negative Way Of People Can Make Others Feel Welcome And Valued Or Like Outsiders

* Our growing understanding of the belonging concept: The desire to be included is strong and the action of being excluded is humiliating:

As a counsellor, you have an obligation to remain objective and non-judgmental at whatever is said to you by your client. I can recall feeling slightly judgmental; I thought to myself that my client/friend was making completely unhealthy and unwise decisions. Her actions were so silly and desperate and completely opposite to how I would have acted. I attempted to transfer my views as diplomatically as possible, trying not to cause a wall of defense to be built. In an actual client and counsellor setting, this type of thinking definitely defies objectivity standpoints that counsellors should ensue.

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary that someone must judge another to reassure their own position as a superior being. It is at this time, those that threaten individuality and culture be reminded that they are made of the same matter that nature intended for us as humans, and these oppressors of unique must now swallow it.

* M1 Discuss the principal psychological perspectives applied to the understanding of the development of individuals

The connections I anticipate my group members will make as a result of this question is to experiences that they have underestimated people by how the look, not how they truly are. They might think that someone is incapable of a task until they're proven wrong. This can also relate to the quote “Never judge a book by its cover”. It means to never make something or someone feel smaller or less important than they actually are, as in this saying it is the book. You never know how the book really is, by just looking at the cover. Additionally, connections I foresee my group will create based on the critical thinking question made is to the book “Cue for Treason” by Geoffrey Trease since all group members were in that group. In the book, underestimation was one of the several themes represented. This is to the character Burbage. Burbage thought that Kit was ten

‘An individual’s interaction with others and the world around them can enrich or limit their experience of belonging.’

Influence is powerful in determining one’s future. Actions behaviors and opinions are all connected to impact of others and the way they shape our views on the world as well as ourselves. Self-Image is dependent on the acceptance of others, thus always changing since one’s morals and ethics do not stay the same as time goes on. Influence of others play a role on how one tends to view themselves and people around them, by either being forced to conform to a country’s lifestyle, completing constant tasks to keep up with society’s demands, or being able to be content with oneself rather than being blinded of the onslaught of constant expectations.

We have all experienced times when we have felt unappreciated or belittled by others, but very easily do we forget how uplifting or detrimental of an impact our words can have on their lives moving forward. In my Reflection #7, I provide my own analysis and interpretation of this subject based on the reading “Integrity and Disrespect: Principles of a Conception of Morality Based on the Theory of Recognition”, by Axel Honneth. In the reading, Honneth emphasizes how we should be weary of when we use disrespectful behavior towards others because this can do so much harm that we may be completely oblivious to. He argues that our well-being depends upon the approval of others when, he writes, “Subjects capable of language and action are constituted

One will either come out of a situation with a positive or negative concept of these surroundings. Poor communication can cause one to have a poor perception of oneself. One's emotional state, dislikes, likes values and body image are affected by the opinions of others and can render one to have an inferior and insecure self-concept.

In today’s world, the acts of recognition inspire many aspects of our lives, such as feeling the fulfillment of hard work, being stopped in a crowded street by a long forgotten friend, or being praised by a well-respected person. The ways we are recognized and the ways we recognize others, determine the person we are and the quality of our life. While the identity of a person relies on recognition, it also is based on misrecognition. Misrecognition is a daily form of identification that can cause oppression and the imprisonment of one’s self-being. The most common form of misrecognition that goes on today can be defined as something everybody in a society talks about in one way, while it's clear from their actions that everybody at the same time understands that it works differently. This definition holds to be true of racial stereotypes, social class, and the health of ones life. In Charles Taylor's book Multiculturalism, he states, “Each of our voices has something unique to say. Not only should I not mold my life to the demands of external conformity; I can't even find the model by which to live outside myself. I can only find it within.” In other words, never underestimate the power of others to influence your choices. Be willing to value your decisions and desires over others. Taylor’s ultimate goal is equal recognition for all.

Have you ever thought about how far your anger would take you? Sometimes foolish hatred can lead to death and destruction. For example, in The Interlopers, Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym, had a family feud, over a strip of forest, for century’s, and both of them sought to end each other’s life because of it. Ulrich, (protagonist), is hunting Georg, (antagonist), in his family’s strip of forest that rightfully belongs to Ulrich. The plot advances by Ulrich finding Georg around a big beech tree, they exchange words, and decide to end their feud.

One could argue that this then inflates our sense of belonging in the world if we feel that there are others who share similar values to us. This then strengthens our resolve by essentially confirming that we are engaging in the right behaviours and holding the right ideals as we associate ourselves with others who feel the same as we do. This then leads them to strengthen our tenacity of in-group favouritism by rewarding our prejudiced behaviours. A positive outcome of this is that it can have a flow on effect to our altruistic nature as human beings and we would be more likely to help those with whom we feel a certain affiliation. It is in this regard that the Social Identity Theory can yield positive results through a framework of philanthropic behaviour and support for in-group members. The converse of this behaviour is that we see an increase in negative behaviours towards those with whom we feel have conflicting goals and essentially belong to an “out group”.

Comparing ourselves to others to see how we measure up and using past experiences can effect perceptions that we have with others. There are many processes that influence perception. Consciously deciding what information to pay attention to can influence many decisions we make. Understanding different cultures and

People judge each other on a daily basis. The way an individual presents themselves, speaks, and behave are all qualities other people base their perception off of. Consequently, these inferences are quite useful in determining who you would and would not enjoy being in any type of relationship with based on surface appearance. However, people may take judging people on surface appearance too far. Therefore, although making a judgement on about a person may not be a negative inference, people take their judgmental attitude to the extreme. Consequently, they have placed themselves in a negative lifestyle which negatively impacts their mood and social interactions.
