COMM-130-40B Week 3: Assignment - Self-Concept and Self-Esteem

Paper option #1

In Casey’s (2010) Ted Talk she shares how her eye specialist changed her life when he asked her, " Why are you fighting so hard not to be yourself?”  Share a time when you presented an incorrect self-image to others. Also share a time when you presented a correct self-image to others. Examine how both of these experiences impacted you.  For example your ability to be sensitive to others, your self-fulfilling prophecies, your interpretation of messages, and your level of self-disclosure.  Discuss if you agree or disagree with Casey’s conclusion that being absolutely true to yourself is freedom.
