Prior to beginning work on this discussion please read Chapter Nine of your course text, and review sections 2.5, 3.1, and 3.2 from previous chapters.  Also read the Palacios, Echaniz, Fernandez and Ortiz de Barron (2015) article Personal Self-Concept and Satisfaction with Life in Adolescence, Youth, and Adulthood and the Dodge, Barab, Stuckey, Warren, Heiselt, & Stein (2008) article Children’s Sense of Self: Learning and Meaning in the Digital Age. The concept of self is core to the study of personality, and most of the theories we have studied in this course postulate some idea about what constitutes the self. This week, we are looking at the self-psychology model which presents several theories regarding how we perceive ourselves and how that is expressed in our personalities. In your initial post, provide a brief overview of the two theories of self that resonate the most with you and explain why you relate to these theories. Be sure to identify the principal theorists associated with your two chosen theories. Describe the impact of our current digital age on the concept of self , including the impact of social media on the way we perceive ourselves. Explain whether or not our perceptions of self are evolving because of social media, including the idea of a digital self. Provide examples of how this might be happening or provide a rationale as to why you believe it is not happening. Your initial post should be a minimum of 300 words and should include references to both of the assigned articles.

One of the things that anthropologists point out is the way that the arrival of capitalism profoundly changes the way that people live their lives and relate to one another. This film explores the way that the FTZ (Free Trade Zone) on the Malaysian island of Batam is drawing people out of their villages to working lives that not only change their relationships with each other, but how people think of themselves.Watch the three parts to this film, B.A.T.A.M. and answer these questions:How do FTZs like BATAM shape and alter gender relationships?What does it mean to say that FTZ’s run on women’s “official labor” and “unofficial labor”?What is the concept of "maloo"? How does it shape the choices that immigrants feel they can make?Write: Jot down these questions and answer them as you watch the film. You will need to submit your answers through this portal to get participation points (see rubric below).How do FTZs like BATAM shape and alter gender relationships?What does it mean to say that FTZ’s run on women’s “official labor” and “unofficial labor”?What is the concept of "maloo"?
