Lesson1 Short Answer
1. What is the difference between your self-concept and self-image? What is the difference between your self-concept and your self-esteem?
Self-concept is who we think we are, whereas self-image is how we and others see us. My self-concept is that I am an intelligent person, which is shown by my success in school. I am also a happy person, which can be shown by how much I smile and laugh. I can believe, through self-concept that I am an attractive human being, but also know that through my self-image, I have an ugly nose. The self-image that human beings hold against themselves does have a tendency to be judgmental. Self-esteem is easier to distinguish from self-concept and self-image in that self-esteem is how we feel about our self-concepts and self-images. One can have high, medium and low self-esteems. For example, you can feel very good about the project you just got an A on, which would mean you have high esteem, and yet feel poorly about the speech you gave during the presentation of the project, which would be low esteem. Self-esteem, as with self-concept and self-image, is greatly influenced by others opinions.

An example of interference in the context would be in a cultural situation at a funeral. It would matter if the funeral was in English or Spanish context. The people attending this funeral will
