through life we try to see what others see and our “self” revolves around the generalized other. We observe how others perceive us and we make conclusions depending on our observations. How we act around others depends on the image we feel they have towards us. Charles Horton Cooley, a symbolic interactionist, concluded that our sense of “self” develops from interactions with others. Cooley described this process as the

It is suggested that there is a moral necessity for a creation of space, and education to allow nurses to carry out this moral duty of bearing witness to suffering, disorder, disease, grief, joy, fear and vulnerability with others (Naef, 2006). Bearing Witness to Lived Trauma: When an individual has lived through a trauma, it is obvious that there is no way to alter the traumatic actions of the past, however, there is a possibility of mitigating the mental burden that the

labeled as the Other is different and does not fit in. The Other is “perceived as lacking essential characteristics possessed by the group, the Other is almost always seen as lesser or inferior being and is treated accordingly” (The Other, 2009). A group sets guidelines and if a person does not meet them they will not be accepted as “normal”. Otherness to a group represents awkwardness. Although each person does have its own unique characteristics to prevent from being labeled as the Other you must possess

In the contemporary society, it is possible that the principalities of life fail to restrict a person from admitting responsibility of any wrong to others. For instance, people often give up on friends based on the assumption that they have spent time and resources trying to effect change. People have the ability to perform more by focusing on others. It creates

When an individual's pursuit of self-awareness is disrupted, it often becomes characterized by the creation of an opposite in other people. This theme is evident in Julia Scheeres's memoir Jesus Land. During her period of adolescent self-discovery, Julia is met with obstacles caused by fanatical authority figures in both her family and church. This struggle ultimately leads Julia to disown and even demonize her closet relation, her brother David. Although the book is a concentrated depiction of this

Throughout the novel, Self's personal life and moral squalor are refracted through the filter of his film project. The project itself is one of Self's many attempts to double himself in the novel. Thus it is not surprising that his life and the film project get constantly inter tangled. Caduta Massi, approached to play the role of the mother, takes an immediate maternal interest in the motherless Self, and literally succors him at her breast. Butch Beausoleil, sought for the part of the mistress

Anywhere in the world, someone acquires something, whether it be money, a car, or even an idea. We can “own” many intangible and tangible items in life, but how does ownership relate to a sense and development of self? This question has been constantly answered for centuries through intelligent people like Plato, Aristotle, and Jean-Paul Sartre. However, the question has received no agreeable answer. In the end, people will agree that there is a strong and positive relationship between ownership

into a basket owned by self or a basket owned by another participant. The memory for items in both baskets was assessed. They found that participants were significantly recognized more of the objects that moved to the self-owned basket than to the other-owned basket. The pattern of the improvement in recognition memory was similar to the self-reference effect. The self-reference effect suggested that information encoded with reference to ‘self’ enjoyed a memory advantage compared with the information
