1LEARNING JOURNAL 2Reflection from learning journal 1 that I used in learning journal 2:The previous experience of learning journal was not great, as I had expected. I was not awarehow to reflect effectively and at the same time align the information of textbooks. Lecture notesand other in my reflective piece. Therefore, while handling writing my own experiences, I couldnot connect with the theories that I have studied in class. Therefore, the main purpose of theassignment as provided by our professor was not met and he was upset. Moreover, myassignment was highly descriptive with very little connections that I could establish with thetheories in class. Therefore, I learnt that while writing the reflective piece in learning journal 2, Ihave to develop a proper balance of the experiences I had in my life and proper application oftheories and learning from the class to analyse my experiences. Striking the proper balance of theexperiences, I had and the application of the knowledge in the class is the main criteria of theassignments on learning journal and therefore, this should be my first priority when writing thelearning journal 2. Secondly, I had faced great issues while expressing myself in Englishlanguage. This is mainly because English is not my first language as I have come from adifferent nation. The English language that I have used for writing the assignment did not have aflow and there were many construction issues as well. My professors had also pointed this outwhen he corrected my assignment. Therefore, I have to be very careful about grammar,construction issues and at the same time, ensure that my writing has flow making the assignmentreadable. These two are the main points that I have to be careful about in my learning journal 2.

2LEARNING JOURNAL 2Reflection 1: Self and identity:Before attending the lecture on the topic of self and identity, I had never considered theword “self” to be so significant and having the power to later our lives and though processes.Until today, nothing had made me question about the importance of self until I attended thelecture. I realised that there are many layers of the word self and it is extremely important for anindividual to have detailed idea about the different layers that help in development of self likeself esteem, self concept, self knowledge as well as social self (Myers and Zinkiwicz 2016).Although, the professor had gone through detailed discussion about each of the concept, therewere specific subtopics that interested me. I realised that self-esteem mainly describes the overallsense of self worth or personal value. It is mainly the opinion that an individual develops abouthimself. The lecture helped me to understand that self–esteem mainly helps to affect how aperson thinks about himself and can thereby relate with other people. It mainly helps individualsto live life to dull potential. The lecture taught us that self-esteem is the sum of our self-schemasas well as possible selves. I came to develop idea about the concept of self-schema that act as acontributing part of the development of self-esteem. It can be defined as the long lasting as wellas the stable set of memories that help in the summarisation of the beliefs of the person,experiences and even generalisation about self in the specific behavioural domains. I came tounderstand self-schemas which are actually cognitive generalisation about oneself hat are mainlyderived from the past. These mainly help to organise and thereby guide the processing of self-related information (Holt et al. 2015). Once we develop self-schema about ourselves, we mainlyfollow a tendency for that schema to be maintained by bias in what we attend to, as well as a biasin what we remember and even bias in what we are prepared to accept as true about ourselves.
