Self and identity
Explore what contributes to a sense of self, development and characteristics of the self, and influences on identity. Identity develops through interaction between individual experience and social contexts; it is not explained by one factor alone.
Apply and revise
Relate the topic to everyday decisions while noting how age, resources, culture and context affect appropriate choices.
Check your understanding: Define the central idea, explain it using a relevant example, and identify one limitation or condition that changes its application.
Practice
- Summarise the main concept in your own words.
- Apply it to a short real-life or classroom example and justify your reasoning.
