Analysis Of The Reflected Self, By Ela Boyd

In Dr. Hyler’s article, “The Woman in the Mirror: Humanities in Medicine”. He contends the importance of studying the Humanities for physicians to be successful doctors.

In presenting a theory about myself as a leader, I will attempt to draw conclusions about my strengths and weakness as a leader based on the things learned in this class. I will speculate on a reflective leadership best-self-portrait through my work experiences that draw on my interpersonal resources for vision. Recognizing my talents and shortcomings will help develop both micro and macro levels of resource development needed to reach my full potential.

Self image is crucial for an individual’s sense of well being. It can also be a source for their identity and dreams for the future. As well, others’ impressions of the individual considerably affects their view of themselves. This interaction can either build their self esteem or tear it down. In his short story, “The Glass Roses”, Alden Nowlan explores the idea that when an individual is coming of age and is struggling to determine their identity, how others’ perceive them - specifically father figures - deeply influences how they perceive themselves. Stephen, the protagonist, is a fifteen year old boy on the cusp of adulthood working in his father’s woodcutting company. As he finds fascination in beauty and feels enslaved by the work, he fails to gain his father’s approval and falls to depression. Fortunately, he forms a friendship with the Polack, who provides a kinder definition of being a man as well as a hope for the future.

I can relate the situation from the novel Tears of a Tiger to my own life. In the book Andy and his friends Robert, Tyrone, B.J, and Gerald are basketball players who came out of a good game and left to celebrate the game. They had beer in the trunk of Andy’s car, for the victory. Andy and his friends got drunk and drove home but they had a car accident in which Robert died. The car accident is the reason why I am able to relate to my life. In the book it states “We start drivin’ around , you know,just foolin’ around, havin’ a good time , yelling out the window at old ladies--it always freaks them out.” I can relate to this story because back when I lived in Pelham I attended A School as

In Lucy Grealy’s narrative Mirror, Lucy tells us a distraught story which makes everyone know about how body images ruin one’s life. In her childhood, Lucy experienced a painful surgery that cut half of her jaw, leaving her struggling to fix her face for the rest of her life. In addition to physical sufferings, she also tolerated the unfriendly and vicious sights and languages from strangers, catching her in endlessly depressed emotions. In fact, body images do mean a lot, because most people in the world focus on their faces and worship beauty. However, perfectness doesn’t exist, and no matter how much effort and money we spend on dressing, we can always find the flaws on our faces and shapes. Physical appearance can make us feel happy, but it also creates upset and troublesome feelings. In order to not let the body images dominate our minds, we have to accept the truth that we are all imperfect and learn to focus on the strength we have. Only when we accept the flaws, can we find the beauty of ourselves.

According to him, the body and its relations are mirages which are uncertain. The only certainty is that nothing is certain. All the more, the fact that he is still experiencing, thinking and doubting himself, whilst being constantly deceived by a supreme power notably affirms his existence. To understand the truth of his identity, he embarks to restrain his mind in the reins of truth, devoid of imagination, to fathom the existence of self. He poses the example of a chunk of wax, with its distinct identity the moment it is taken from a honeycomb. It has features that can be perceived by means of the senses, which broaden the understanding on what the wax is. But as it is placed by the fire, it loses its distinctness. Due to its alteration, the senses can no longer comprehend it. However, it is the same wax that remains which has undergone some alterations from what is was before. He concludes that the nature of the wax is perceived purely by non-contingent mental scrutiny. His perusal into the perception of the wax results in the investigation into the nature of his own mind becoming clearer.

however with support and hard work from my team members we won the first ever medal for the team. I find it difficult to work under tight deadlines and so I have a habit to plan out things, prioritize them and then solve them one by one. I have always been the greatest critic of myself. I introspect a lot, analyse my mistakes and try to work over them. I am a quick observer of things and people’s behaviour. This really helps me to understand the other person’s state of mind and I steer the conversation accordingly. As a result I am not really comfortable with strangers who are difficult to predict and this is one area where I would like to work on in the future. I also don’t like to look at things from a distance and give any arbitrary solution. I try to understand the core of the problem and try to look beyond the obvious.

Any form of expression can deploy one’s philosophy; occasionally, it can exert an individual’s identity. Nonetheless, when I attempt to demonstrate my beliefs, it may fluctuate from stable to utter humiliation. However, what could I actually do? My childhood consisted of one component: egotistical confidence. From enhancing my writing and vocabulary to excelling my confidence in speech abilities, every aspect appeared “pristinely clear” as I used to state. However, my self-confidence can barely fade from my identity; it can never dissipate if I assume my audience are partially illiterate or basically a mirror of my “perfection”. Trust in my own peers was an outlandish concept I rarely integrated into my system. In turn, unfortunately, my narcissistic

Self love is an up and coming problem that can even be explained in Greek Mythology tales. Chapter 2 of the book “Mirror, Mirror: The Uses and Abuses of Self-Love” is written by Simon Blackburn to an audience of educated readers in their adulthood to apply lessons from greek mythology to modern society, and suggest ways to downsize self love. This book was recently published in 2014 by Princeton University Press. Simon Blackburn is a retired professor of Philosophy at The University Of Cambridge, but remains a research professor at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Blackburn effectively educates his audience of self love by Identifying with his audience, and the appropriate use of ethos, and logos.

In this report, I am going to describe my own role in helping the team to achieve its goal in relation to the group report and the practical negotiation exercise’s. Also I will provide evidence of my contribution to the cohesiveness of the group and how I facilitated the completion of the group goals.

The human identity provides individuals with a sense of self, and by examining one’s identity, questions such as “Who am I?” and “What is my background?” can be asked. While both questions don’t fully allow one to recognize who they truly are, they provide a useful starting point. Additionally, as one ages and experiences what life has to offer, the puzzle of one’s identity can be pieced together. Though the events of life have the potential to reinforce one with a positive sense of identity, they can do the opposite as well. When children are bullied, they feel worthless, for their identities are treated as such; conversely, when an individual is promoted at work, their identity as a hard worker is commended. In summary, our actions and

During the duration of this course and the numerous discussions initiated in lecture, I have been able to utilize the concepts proposed in class to further my intellectual development and thinking. While many concepts have been discussed in class, the topic of secondary witnessing was the one I could relate to the most. Just like Art Spiegelman, I am a second-generation witness to my father's life post-Vietnam war. I am a part of the generation that will continue to transmit my father's war stories to future generations. I am witness to the Vietnam war in terms of how it affected survivors, such as my father, even though I didn't live through that experience myself, tying in the concept of post-memory as well.

I always thought of myself as a fairly talented writer. Throughout the years from elementary school to highschool I have always found it easy to write. With that in mind, I came into this class thinking that I was gonna float right through it and it would be easy. I never had though about how much more there was to learn and how much I could improve my writing. I have learned many valuable skills such as researching credible information, using critical thinking and rhetorical strategy, writing mechanics, analyzing and disproving counter-arguments, addressing specific audiences, and using peer editing in my writing process. With my progress throughout this class, I have developed into an exceptional writer which will
