Self-concept has a different meaning for each individual but can be classified into two different dimensions, the actual self and the ideal self. These two dimensions can be broken down into private self and social self. In the real self dimension, a person explains how they really see themselves and how others see them. In the ideal dimension, a person explains how they would like to see themselves as well as how they would like others to see them. They do this with the private and social self in the real and ideal dimensions. Self-esteem, self-esteem, and body image are just a few categories that may fall under these dimensions. Each of these plays off the other and goes hand in hand with the self-concept itself, but can be interpreted differently for each person. Self-esteem and self-esteem have very similar traits and definitions. According to the Self Concept article, “Self-esteem refers to the extent to which we like, accept, or approve of ourselves, and self-esteem is actually how much we value ourselves” (McLeod, 2014). People can have high or low self-esteem, as well as high or low self-esteem. Normally, if they have high self-esteem, they will also have higher self-esteem and if they have low self-esteem, they will have much lower self-esteem. Today, one of our societies' ideas of self-concept concerns our body image, especially for women. The Taylor and Francis group published in an article that body image defines "how you see yourself when you look in the mirror or how you feel about your body, including your size, shape, and shape." weight” (Wiederman and Hurst, 1998). A person's self-esteem is normally based on their self-worth and can actually change throughout their life. The changes...... middle of paper...... who is proud of her body image, regardless of what others think or what society tells her she should be. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, we are portrayed in unrealistic ways in society, this tells people that it is no longer acceptable to be themselves. Our culture is more focused on outer beauty than ever, but parents have the ability to change that. They can give their child the appropriate motivation to encourage greater self-esteem and promote self-esteem through what is inside each individual versus their outward appearance or through the material objects that can be purchased from a company. They can do this through sports and other team activities and not only by praising them, but also by providing helpful self-criticism. This would teach our children to love themselves and hopefully carry them through to adulthood, making them a more well-rounded person..
