Discussion Board Forum 2: Response
Maylena, thank you so much for helping me understand and learn more of how Article 7
can be portrayed in many different ways. Reading how Donna Hicks explained the “I” and “Me”
concepts of oneself made we really think about just how much we use these “two parts of self”.
Within your article discussion, you made a great statement in comparing these two by stating that
“the difficulty with these concepts of self are the conflict can make one questions that “rightness”
of one’s own identity” (Gibson, 2018, paragraph 2). Reading this statement made me look at “I”
and “Me” in a different light. We all may have issues sometimes in where we think we are right
and will not budge on our decisions and these feelings and thoughts do cause conflict on both our
sense of self and our other perceptions of others.
Donna Hick’s wrote that “even though the process of identity development
is ongoing and ever-changes, in order to be able to function in the world
we need some stability and certainty about what to expect in the world,
but this comes with a price” (p. 134-135).
Just like you, I get caught up with trying to be “right” within conflicts and this hinders me
from seeing others viewpoints and how they may also be right. We all deal with the conflicts of
“I” and “Me” but forgiveness can begin the process of enlightenment and resolve.
