Question

Hi, I have to write an essay on what i believe the self is in my psychology class, and this is my thesis statement , however I need help in the sentence structure.

Thesis statement

The self is a unique soul unreplicated that belongs to an individual. The manner in which one depicts themselves including ; how they present, commerce, along with experiences and beliefs/values are the elements to who an individual might be.

Thank you

Answer 1

Modified Thesis Statement

The self as I believe in it is unique. It cannot be replicated and it is a very personal identity. It is what makes me an individual. How I perceive myself, how I choose to present myself, the way I converse, the experiences I've had and I am going to have, which are unique to me, the belief systems and the values that I hold, the principles I follow and the ethics I adhere to, are all facets of my soul that make the 'self' - my 'self' in this case.

Some pointers for the essay, it could have the following points from your perspective:

1. The individual's belief in what makes one unique.
2. The individual's attributes.
3. The individual's core identity when everything else is gone. The answer to who I am when there are no titles associated with me.
4. The self-image that I carry
5. How I see myself in the physical sense
6. What roles I play in the lives of the people around me
7. Qualities that make me easily identified in a group
8. The level of confidence I carry
9. The personal interest I hold
10. The philosophy I live by - a personal mantra

Points 1 & 3 could make up the introduction. Others through 8 could make up the body of the essay with varying titles and the points 9 & 10 could be used to conclude the essay. All the best!
