..My God helps me, I must understand this reading text because blog is important for us.Anyway, this week, we learned important of self-esteem and when does self-esteem increase or decrease.In this part, the author said 'self-esteem is the highest in childhood'.I agree with author.I know because I was also a child and my self-esteem is the highest that time.
YanıtlaSilBesides, in this part, self-esteem is very low in adolescence was said.I disagree with this part because when I was in adolescence, my self-esteem is good:),
After the adolescence self-esteem generally increase, but I did not experience it because now, I am in young adulthood.Therefore, I cannot say.
Self-esteem is the lowest in adulthood and I agree.Elders are calmer than another people.They can be thinking death, so their self-esteem may be low. Good night everyone.
Theme of this week about the human personality.This subject is Self esteem.I think this situation is related to human self-confidence.But,people like your good self is nothing.These two conditions must be common.For example low self-confidence of people working.So self esteem even less.There are many ways to lose their self-esteem.For example may be seen as a child a bad event.Richard Robins said'There is an accumulation of losses occurring all at once both in old age and adolescence.' or it emerging into adulthood.İn adults of the reason he income youth.According to previous years, people now have more self-esteem.
YanıtlaSilFirst of all,I learned several information about self-esteem. This reading tell person's age and life to interconnect on selff-esteem. secondly, self- esteem is changeable concept. Therefore,people's live resemble roller coaster because , people's live remittrnt such as roller coaster.For example,self-esteem decrease adolescence and elderliness ,but it increase childhood. I do not agree because,it should be the opposite.Another example is communıty pressure had on girls in the past.I think this right because boys' are more self-esteem than girls.
YanıtlaSilfirst of all, self-esteem depends on us because it increases or decreases up to us. roller-coaster is a exciting thing so the author made a connection between a roller-coaster ride and a person's self-esteem.I agree with author.People who trusts themselves more successful than people who do not trust themselves.I usually trust myself.I think you must trust yourself.In this way you will be successful.
YanıtlaSilIn my opnion, I learned important self-esteem for life.Self esteem are increase in childhood and young adulthood,decrease in adolescence and adulthood.Have you ever tried roller-coaster? If you try to roller-coaster, you must know its highes and lows.Therfore,life generally similar roller-coaster.Because life is costantly change.In my opinoin , life is short and we should have self-esteem.
