...In this video they used a lot of evidence of presentation of self and impression management. For example she could not decide on the right filter that she wanted to use that fit her skin. She also in the video said she wanted to take her picture down to take a better one. This shows how much we care about how precise we are to make our picture to look as fantastic as possible. Like the article said people try to take a selfie when they either look the best or saying hey I did this today. In this video she said she was going to take a selfie before she went to smoke. There were some photos for instance someone was at a gym basically showing people that he is working out and getting in shape. Another photo someone had a fan of money in their hand convincing people that they got a whole bunch of money whether it is true of not....

INTRODUCTION In the national development equation, education remains the fulcrum upon which other indices of national development revolve. It is no doubt, that office technology and management education is one of the disciplines that train students for self-reliance and self-sufficiency. The level and quality of education collectively attained in a given society determines the extent to which other factors of development are exploited for the advancement of that society.

...Self-Management Behavioral Contract I understand that change is necessary in order to make room for improvement. Self-improvement is something that I continuously work towards, not for anyone else’s happiness but my own. Presently, my goal for myself is to gain healthy eating habits and lose weight. Although I do not see myself as “fat” I do see myself as overweight and there is definitely room for change. My ultimate target is to lose up to fifteen (15) pounds and change my eating habits. After losing the weight I would like to continue my eating habits in order to keep a healthy lifestyle. In order to reach my goal I have determined that I will have to change eating patterns. First, what I eat and how much I eat at one time. Sadly, I have a habit of eating military style, at least that’s what my brother who is in the military calls it. I often times eat quickly, which is not a good thing. I have learned that eating fast is not healthy. Eating too fast does not give the brain enough time to send a signal to the stomach that I am full. My intake is faster than the signal and by the time I am finished I am stuffed. Another behavior that needs to cease is the time of the day that I eat. I have a habit of not eating much during the day, but at night eating very late or waking up in the middle of the night for a snack (chocolate ice- cream). I would love to increase the amount of time that I work out in a day. I find my schedule to sometimes be so busy, and when it comes...

...What are the best qualities to look for in the leader of a business team? There are many qualities that could make someone a great team leader. However, not all great leaders have the same good qualities, and all good qualities are not found in every leader because everyone has their own strong and weak points. What is important is to figure out your own values and working styles, then look for a leader with whom your personal traits and qualities can complement each other. Doing so will likely develop a strong foundation for growth and success. Three of the most important traits that I would personally look for in a strong leader would be integrity, self confidence, and intelligence. One of the most important traits to seek in a strong leader and entrepreneur is integrity. For a person to have integrity, it means that they will act with honesty and reliability. They also demonstrate take responsibility for their actions and not try to sugar-coat things or cover them up. Being able to trust in a leader is incredibly important because that means that people following the leader or working with him or her can trust that what is said is what will be done. That in turn means no deceptions and no unfortunate surprises. A leader with integrity will likely also demonstrate good ethics, another key trait for developing a successful enterprise. An entrepreneur creates a business and sets an example that reflects who they are as a person. Acting with integrity will create an environment...

...BEHAVIORAL SELF – MANAGEMENT CONTRACT J. Bellamy 26 October 2013 1.) Target Behavior – I would like to obtain an “A” grade as the outcome of my time spent in Psychology 103 - Introduction to Psychology. 2.) Baseline - At present, I spend 2 hours per week in lecture on Thursdays and generally spend an approximate additional 2 – 2 ½ hours per week studying the current chapter material. This includes but is not limited to reviewing the recorded lecture materials as well as reviewing the book chapter and my notes. This review is usually very haphazard and at the last minute; i.e., Thursday morning before the test that afternoon. My present study habits have resulted in my obtaining a “B” grade, thus far. This grade has met my expectations as far as outcome for the level of preparedness I have committed. 3.) Goal – I would like to work on prioritizing my time for Psychology study work. I intend to achieve this goal by setting a 1 hour block on Wednesday evening between 9-10pm, and an additional 2 hour block on Friday from 12 – 2pm to dedicate to Psychology each week. These times will require me to study the material while it is still fresh and every week, not just before an impending test. This plan will also allow me to set a firm schedule for my studying and prevent “cramming” by making the times planned events. With the planned out blocks of time, studying will not be “last minute” and will result in my obtaining the “A” grade I would like in this...

I do realize that this is not a change that is quick and simple. Instead, it will take an extensive matter of time to accomplish in a healthy and successful manner. This paper will include the behaviors that I would like to increase, as well as those I will decrease. I will also include a chart that will show hoe I will be monitoring my success. I will also be including any internal and external consequences for actions associated with working toward and attaining specific goals. The first step to take is to document some basic details and my starting weight, so that a precise plan can be established. I am 33 years old, height is 5’2 and current weight is 215 lbs. My long term goal is 150lb, which would be an overall loss of 65lbs. My short term goals include losing 5 lbs. a week for 13 weeks, for a total of three months and one week.

...Dillan Middlebrooks English 848 Chris Dowling 09/29/2014 Part of being human If there’s one thing that we all could use more of it would be self-control. Look at the least successful people you know and the most successful. The one thing that makes these two types of people different is their ability to do the right actions and do them continuously. Recently I read The Willpower Instinct by Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D.it first explains that willpower is an instinct, like stress, that protects us from ourselves. Then the book goes through ways we sabotage our own willpower and she also gives strategies to improve your willpower. One thing that The Willpower Instinct made crystal clear was that everyone struggles in some way; it could be addiction, distractions, temptations, and procrastinating. Motivation is key to resist our short-term pleasures. “When you find your biggest want power…bring it to mind whenever you find yourself most tempted to give in or give up.”(75) Whenever you are on the verge of giving up you need to just remember where you want to be and it will help you get to your overall goal. The beginning of my senior year of high school I was 80 credits behind so I had to take seven classes the first semester, but I only passed half of those and then I had ten classes the final semester in order to graduate with three credits over the requirement. Along the way I had people telling me that I “could” and “couldn’t” graduate. I definitely wanted to just give...

...of the perspectives of others. Depending on what you decide can lead you on a road to success or failure, but it is the most crucial and important. Starting from your hygiene, eating habits, school, work, keeping your body in shape to just simple hobbies may have a big impact on your life's longevity and social aspect. The first step in building good personal responsibility, is by first realizing the flaws and mistakes that you have made, because although it is not an addiction we tend to create bad habits. From our early school years up until your set in your career we must have a schedule to keep us on track and at the same time develop self confidence and motivation to better our selves. Creating a physical work out routine will not only maintain your physical shape, but also provides more energy to the body acquiring more self motivation to keep active. Also while exercising your relieving stress from the body and the brain, establishing more space for knowledge and social view point, therefore, make it is easier to become more educated.When we think about how personal responsibility can be related to education we acknowledge that in order to succeed as a student one must form schedules to study and listen to the advice given to us by our teachers, hard work pays off. As a student eager to succeed in high school as well as college must know that asking for help when in doubt is also allowed. Building a foundation to communicate and interact with other people.

...and nibble on nuts apply potions and lotions, don helmets and hats: All at the behest of my skin. Drinking too much, sleeping too little, lying too long in the sun and I am compelled to feel guilty. Connor says ‘the skin is not a part of the body’ (Connor 2002, 4) and indeed, my skin is like a domineering despot. It petulantly exposes my neglect by painting dark circles under my eyes, smudging the glow and scattering blemishes. It is the reflection of my soul, separate but inseparable from myself - my ‘body’s twin’ (Connor 2002, 5). It is this ‘twin’ (Connor 2002, 5) or my ‘immaterial, ideal, ecstatic’ (Connor 2002. 5) imagining of my skin that constitutes what Cooley described as a ‘looking glass self’. (described by Coser 1997) This concept states that ‘an individual’s self-conception result(s) from assimilating the judgments of their significant others’ (discussed by Mikala, 2012). What we see in this mirror is not our carefully considered actions and the complex thought process that leads us to take them; We only see this ‘shadow’ (Connor 2002, 5) which becomes more than simply the living tissue. It is branded with our outward identity. And so, how we perceive others to view us in turn influences how we see ourselves. This attitude is present without an actual witness though. The...

...vector of Chickering and Reisser’s theory “Establishing identity.” While one could argue the development of student identities takes place during the creation of a profile, the development of the students’ true identity is something that a profile is likely dependent upon. A student’s Facebook profile will not stay the same throughout the duration of a student’s career, but instead grows and changes with the student as they move along a path of self-discovery. It is through the assimilation of friends, relationships, activities, experiences, education and other factors that a student truly defines a sense of self that can be reflected both corporally and digitally. It is in this vector, among others, that the cyclical pattern of Chickering and Reisser’s developmental process stumbles. As most of the vectors concern processes that are ongoing throughout a student’s collegiate or university career and beyond, the development of identity is itself an ongoing, likely never-ending process students will not cease until some point of complete self-actualization....
