Self-Identity
Under this respective factor, the key major topic that I feel more relevant and effective to
consider as a strong part of my discussion is related to certain beneficial features that are
associated with the function of self-esteem.
What interested me about this topic Self-Esteem?
As compared to the internal prospective that is associated with the actual vision of
individual mind, it is considered to be a stated factor that when we basically try to value and
understand ourselves and maintain a better mode of self-esteem, we may completely feel secured
and worthwhile (Cheung, Sedikides and Wildschut 2016). The other part under this respective
behavioral system can be that we will try to understand our internal abilities along with
developing our own confidence where this can enhance us to maintain an adaptive mode of
positive relationship with people whom we interact with. According me I feel that these
respective factors that are associated with the system of self-esteem can be a better platform
where I can develop certain demonstrative qualities within me where I can remain much open
towards many learning and feedback. This will also guide me under the area of acquiring and
mastering new and innovative skills.
Concepts related to Self-Esteem
Some of the major concepts that are related to the system of self-esteem are generally
categorized under the following heads which involves certain factors that are related to identity,

appreciation, acceptance and many others. The major behavioral part associated with the
respective concepts is mentioned below.
 According to me in order to understand certain factors that are associated with my sense
can only be evaluated and measured through the process of asking a question to myself
“Who I am?. Under this respective part, this will give us clear idea about the actual
context and numerous situations that we move across (Ferris et al 2015). I believe that
when we are spending our time more with our friends and colleagues we may try to
demonstrate a differentiated character within us where I according to me this moreover
considered to be a healthy approach compared to many studies that I have conducted.
 As compared to the functional prospective related to the behavioral part of appreciation,
this is something that is related to value ability, express and enjoy gratitude on what we
actually have (Cheung, Sedikides and Wildschut 2016). Developing this within myself
can guide me under the area of understanding and evaluating my own personal strength
factors, relationship characteristics and other accomplishments that are related to my
internal well-being.
 When we receive a gift from someone, it is important for us to understand the positive
behavioral factor that is associated with the respective individual who offers us with
something rather than giving more emphasis on what we receive in the form of gift. It is
important to develop a favorable mode of acceptance in order make yourself more
prepared and advanced for future.

How self-esteem is relevant to my social world?
As discussed earlier, certain factor that are associated with the system of developing an
effective self-esteem behavior should be considered as the major initiative that is required to be
implemented in me in order to remain more prepared and demonstrative to face the future. This
will first guide me under the area of evaluating the actual internal factors that are associated with
my behavioral part where this can play a major role in building my confidence where I will
measure and understand my actual potential to work with more reliability and consistency
further.
Prejudice and Discrimination
The most relevant topic according to me which I consider more relevant and suitable to
conduct a brief discussion under this respective part is about the factor of prejudice or bias that
can be caused within the organization or between the individuals both in the internal and external
environment.
What interested me about the topic prejudice?
As compared to the functional aspects that are related to the internal prospective of an
individual, this is considered to be a major part which helps in understanding and evaluating the
actual reason behind the system of disliking caused among the individuals due to numerous
reasons that are associated with the thinking behavioral characteristics of individuals (Nemec,
Swarbrick and Legere 2015). The most interesting part of the study can be that, prejudice is
considered to be a feeling of a person which is effective that is entirely related to the respective
individuals professed group membership. Apart from this, it also gives a clear understanding
