Understanding the Concept of Self-Esteem
Whether people know it or not, everyone has a self-esteem, but some have better grasps on it than others do. Most people's self-esteem judgments are based on what they value, their beliefs or interests, and the attitudes that they have (Beane, 1993, p. 6). Therefore it is impossible to escape the notion that someone doesn't have a self-esteem.
It is whatever they make it out to be, but not only do they choose their own self-esteem, but others have a big part in deciding it as well. I have two friends who are totally different in every aspect, especially their self-esteem. My one friend Karis has a high self-esteem; she gets good grades, is the star of the volleyball team, and

6), and Davina seems to have none.
Self-evaluations of a person physical appearance are defiantly linked to self-esteem (Baumeister, 1993, p. 95), and Davina hates the way she looks. She's a beautiful girl and she'd be so much prettier if she smiled once in awhile, but Davina doesn't believe her peers. What a person thinks of himself or herself is going to show through their attitude and behavior
(Beane, 1984, p. 26). It is also determined by what others think.
Friends and relatives can have a great impact on what a person thinks of himself or herself. This can either be good or bad, and in Davina's case, ! it's awful. Since her parents walked out on her, she seems untrusting of everyone except her closest friends. Even then it is hard to get through to her, I think she has given up on herself, making her self-esteem lower than is already is. Karis has nothing but warmth and love at home. Her parents help her study, commend her on her grades, and always brag to their friends about how well she is doing juggling both volleyball and school. On the refrigerator door her parents have put up all the carefully cut out newspaper clipping's that show Karis playing volleyball, her place on the honor roll, and the pictures of her being inducted into the national honor society. This certainly brightens Karis's spirits as she sees how proud her parents really are of her, and I
There are many differences in the book and movie. A few are small though others are huge differentiation, for example one minor differences is the setting. In the novel it states that the name of the town is called, “Wells, South Carolina” (pg. 1), though in the beginning of the film it reveals that it takes place in a town called, “Sparta, Mississippi”. Although both can be similar too, because of how they were describe as a, “hot and stagnant” place (pg. 1) Furthermore, the other minor differences is the relationship between the characters.

I was second grader and departing for America, my friend and I were saying goodbye in front of the airport. He shouted to me in a way that everyone could hea r, just before I got inside, that I have to get into the airplane barefooted. I put my shoes in my carriage as he said. I didn't realize single thing before the man next to me burst into laughter and told me that there is no such rule as being barefooted. My friend always was my best friend as we went to the same school, same church and lived in the same apartment. However, my expectation for the airplane was satisfied as they had a television and I was overwhelmed by its enormous size. Unfortunately, I ate some meats and potatoes in the airplane despite my mom's commandment, "don't eat
Now back home today I learned she has taken a little of my advice and is talking with her mom again. I wish more people would see that approach. Lots of people see it as unrealistic, when it’s one of the most realistic things I now know. So many people now of days need pills to get over depression, or feel the need to always compare how bad life is for them. When it’s all in your hands. You have the power to see it how you want to. So do so, and when you make that switch you will be the light in some one ells
For our group project we, group 6, decided to focus our attention on censorship in television and on the radio. We showed most of the attention to the Janet Jackson incident in Super Bowl 38 when looking at television, and for radio, focused on the FCC and disc jockeys like Howard Stern. Here are the television articles as done by three of our group members.

If I would have spoken, Socrates might have been given more amnesty and might still be in Athens.
Adolescence is defined as the change between childhood and adulthood. Many changes happen at this stage. Adolescence involves things such as puberty, independence, and a time to find self-identity.

Self-acceptance is an extremely prevalent issue that numerous people struggle with. It is one of the hardest to surmount, for it is something I still struggle with to this day. Overall, my journey is a working progress as it will perpetuate to have its downfalls to test me. Like many of my generation, social media has played an excessively paramount role in our lives, both negatively and positively. Sources of harmless entertainment have also unintentionally encouraged self-judgment. Be that as it may, my perspective has been widely opened unexpectedly through a speaker’s presentation as she showed us how to recognize our self-worth. Confidence and self-esteem are hard to acquire for some, but it should not be a quantity you divest yourself of. Self-acceptance of all insecurities and doubts is paramount since every individual has a unique beauty that should be cherished in order to pursue a life full of love and jubilance.
There is a lot of things that I have learned about myself in the past few weeks of this course. I have learned many things about myself that I would have never known if it was not for this course. I have learned about my; self concept, attitudes and feelings. I have also learned about social influence, group dynamics and relationships. I learned about myself and how to describe the way that I am and the way that I think.
People’s self-esteem either high or low is shaped by their life experiences. I believe a person’s self-esteem begins to take shape at an early age, with their parents being a major influence. Kind, positive, knowledgeable and caring parents help children create a positive self-image. Parents who do not feel good about themselves or others, sometimes take it out on their childern by belittling them or discouraging them. This leads the child down a path of self-doubt and eventually given the right circumstances a lower self-esteem.
Insecurity drills a hole into a person’s heart, minimizes their integrity, and accumulates as plaque build up, hindering any kind of future growth. Just as any human being’s growth is stifled by the insecurity within them, the United States as a whole suffers the same from its own tremendous amount of insecurity. This lack of acknowledgement of self-worth causes a ghastly chain reaction; people tend to pursue the wrong ideals, become corrupt, and inevitably lead themselves to their own demise. Insecurity is a route to destruction, and America is speeding down that road to dissolution.
