Concept-of-self

/in /by

Prior to beginning work on this discussion please read Chapter Nine of your course text, and review sections 2.5, 3.1, and 3.2 from previous chapters. Also read the Palacios, Echaniz, Fernandez and Ortiz de Barron (2015) article Personal Self-Concept and Satisfaction with Life in Adolescence, Youth, and Adulthood and the Dodge, Barab, Stuckey, Warren, Heiselt, & Stein (2008) article Children’s Sense of Self: Learning and Meaning in the Digital Age.

The concept of self is core to the study of personality, and most of the theories we have studied in this course postulate some idea about what constitutes the self. This week, we are looking at the self-psychology model which presents several theories regarding how we perceive ourselves and how that is expressed in our personalities. In your initial post, provide a brief overview of the two theories of self that resonate the most with you and explain why you relate to these theories. Be sure to identify the principal theorists associated with your two chosen theories. Describe the impact of our current digital age on the concept of self , including the impact of social media on the way we perceive ourselves. Explain whether or not our perceptions of self are evolving because of social media, including the idea of a digital self. Provide examples of how this might be happening or provide a rationale as to why you believe it is not happening. Your initial post should be a minimum of 300 words and should include references to both of the assigned articles.

If you are a manager, one aspect of decision making is trying to account for change, adjusting how you go about your finances based on your situation. This can be illustrated through contribution margin—an aspect of cost-volume-profit analysis that is useful for both professionals and consumers for decision making.

For example, the best time for a consumer to buy a car is at the end of the year, because the sellers are more willing to sell cars at the lowest of margins to meet their quotas.

Consider how situations such as this are not only normal but also critical to proper decision making based on the conditions of your company and the market.

In a one and half page paper:

  • Give an explanation of which features of cost-volume-profit analysis help managers cope with uncertainty. Justify your response.
  • Give an explanation of why managers are interested in the break-even analysis point.
  • Give an analysis of how the contribution margin changes in relation to output levels due to changes in variable costs and fixed costs. How can managers make changes to variable costs and fixed costs once budgets or production targets have been set?
