Making Connections by Galvin and Cooper:
1. Is there a person or group of people who had an influence in your life? How have they shaped who you are today?
2. How do you define yourself? Can/does that definition change with different situations you are in and/or when associating with different groups of people?
3. The development of self-concept comes from 'significant others - people whose opinions we especially value'. The reading talks about that being a positive affect on our lives; can a significant other shape your self concept if they had a negative impact? Does that always lead to a negative self concept or would it push for the opposite to occur?
