If you were going to define your own definition of "Self" and relate it to the present time, what would it be? Why?
Answer (1)
The “Self” is the ongoing process of who we are — shaped by our thoughts, emotions, choices, and relationships — constantly influenced by the digital age, social changes, and personal growth. It is not fixed but flexible, adapting to the fast pace of modern life while still holding on to a core sense of identity and values. Why this definition?In the present time, people’s identities are no longer confined to physical spaces; they also extend into online spaces (social media, virtual communities, digital footprints).The “Self” today is dynamic. With rapid technological, cultural, and social changes, we are continually reshaping how we see ourselves.At the same time, people search for authenticity and meaning amidst trends, pressures, and expectations.So, the “Self” in today’s world can be understood as a balance between adaptability and authenticity — we shift and evolve with the times, but we also hold on to what makes us uniquely “us.”
