    The document discusses the concept of self through the metaphor of a rose. It describes how the four factors of heredity, environment, social interactions, and personal choice influence the development of one's identity, similar to how these factors impact a rose. It then examines the philosophical perspectives of Kant and Descartes and how they view the relationship between outer appearance and inner purpose/existence. Finally, it analyzes the scientific concepts of psychoneuroimmunology and psychoanalysis and how these lenses provide insight into unconscious aspects of the self and how one observes and relates to others.

    Based on the drawing:

    Factors

    I am the rose that is influenced by the four factors — heredity, environmental, social and
    person-volition. First is heredity, my appearances came from the genes of my mother and
    father, the same as how roses have an identical color when planted. Meanwhile, when the
    weather is sunny a rose is glowing at sight and if a rose is placed on an area with the spot
    where it gets sun all day, roses will bloom at their best. This situation is linked on how the
    environmental factor affects me as a person. I am living in a place wherein the neighborhood
    has the qualities of being a cheerful and approachable person. With that, I, myself carried
    that characteristic as I interact with others. This leads to the third aspect — social factor. As
    the rose has grown, it will be possibly cut and turned into a bouquet combined with other
    flowers similar to my waning stage where I was associated with other people that eventually
    became my friends who made me realize and discover new things. However, sometimes, I
    am a folded flower who will only bloom once I get to know myself more. It is the reason why
    there are times when I distanced myself from the others — a person-volition factor.

    Philo

    What makes a rose a rose? On the outside appearance, a rose is pleasing to the eye. But
    inside, it symbolizes love, purity, and beauty. This condition is inlined on how a philosophical
    view — The Concept of Metaphysics of Self by Immanuel Kant, influenced me. The outer
    self pertains to my physical appearance while my inner self reflects my purpose, values, and
    identity as a person.
    Furthermore, as I am currently on the journey to find what is my purpose and ask myself
    whether all of this was real, I would conclude that it is in reality because of the philosophical
    perspective of Rene Descartes, “I think, therefore I am.”. I would not doubt myself for my
    own existence for the moment that I doubt, it is true.

    Science

    As noticed in the illustration, roses have thorns. A thorn to protect the plant from the
    predators. In reality, conforming to psychoneuroimmunology, it corresponds to the way I
    observe and analyze a person’s trait when one is associated with me. On this account, I can
    determine whether it has either a good or bad influence for me.

    Moreover, the concept of Psychoanalysis by Sigmund Freud also gave me knowledge to


    know more about myself. As a rose, I cannot see my roots. I do not know how wide it goes
    beneath the ground. I am still unconscious about the “self” whom I have yet to discover as I
    live and have a future ahead of me.

    3 significant things that I learned:

    Upon reading Module 1, I have learned that Self and Identity are flexible. Due to the different
    factors— social, environmental, heredity, and person-volition, one has the ability to change
    or improve their own identity. For instance, a timid person can become the opposite once he
    interacted with an acquaintance of loud people. However, he can choose if he will remain the
    person he is in compliance with the person-volition.

    The second thing that I learned is the Nature of Self in the concepts from Philosophical
    views.
    Based on Philosophy, the self defines the characteristics of a person which makes one
    different from the other. This characteristic leads one to its consciousness. A consciousness
    which makes a person the doer of every action that is done. In addition, the self can also
    have knowledge and wisdom to achieve true happiness.

    Lastly, is the Self in Science. There are two views of self scientifically— self has physical
    nature and self has a nurture to function in the context of society as well as the institution. In
    the former, I learned that physical appearances of a person came from the genetics,
    specifically the DNA that obtains our unique genetic code and a non-negotiable factor. On
    the contrary, the self in social sciences signifies how a person composes oneself in his role
    in the community.
