For this assignment, you will be exploring the concept of the social self. Using information from the book and my lectures, write a 2-3 page essay on the importance of the Social Self in the contemporary world.
You should begin by explaining the concept of the Social Self, outlining its various components (based on the various theories discussed this week) and the ways in which it can impact an individual’s life.
Then, discuss how you think modern society’s expectations of the Social Self shape the way we think, feel, and behave, and explain how understanding the Social Self can help us better understand ourselves and the people around us.
Finally, pick one of the theories in the book and provide one example from your own life where you could use that theory to explain your own behavior.
Be sure to include introduction and conclusion paragraphs, and provide evidence (from the book or lectures) to support your claims (and cite using APA format). When preparing and submitting your paper, please adhere to the following requirements:
The paper should be 2-3 pages, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins on all sides.
Use 12-point Times New Roman font and include page numbers.
Include a cover page that includes the title of the paper, your name, the date, and the course name.
Use APA style formatting for citations and references.
All sources must be properly cited throughout the paper, and a reference list must be included at the end of the paper.
If you are unfamiliar with APA formatting, see https://www.easybib.com/guides/citation-guides/apa-format/
I will not take off points for incorrect APA formatting for the first few weeks, but I will after you receive feedback about how to correct it.
