Transcripts
hello good day again so uh we're back
and um we're actually done with the
different
aspects uh the different view of the
self you know
so now let us proceed to unpacking
ourselves no
so there are a lot of parts atom self
and that includes uh physical self okay
so uh there's a lot that we
uh tackle about or that we need to
tackle about today about the physical
self
um especially our perception of beauty
you know
um where is your perception of beauty
influence
no so do you create your own uh mindset
of beauty or are you affected by others
beauty no
beauty standards guru no so i like uh
the quote that was said
uh by a website it says here
the biological blueprint no that we also
need to consider this
no this is very crucial a crucial aspect
of the self is one's physical features
including the face
the bodily structure uh
height and weight most commonly
however people should also consider what
their physical competencies what do you
mean by that no so
where are you good at physically no
where are you good at physically
um image that you have in your body
you have good legs no that is a
competency rather
evaluation of physical worth no so
cannot how well do you evaluate how well
do you evaluate your physical worth no
do you feel that you are worthy to be
admired at
no because of your own unique beauty no
and
perception of beauty okay where is your
perception of beauty coming from
all right so the physical self is not
only limited to what can be seen
by the naked eye underneath the skin is
a dynamic system of
so of course there's it's not only what
we see
what you see in me
it's not only that class no i'm also
affected by the biological and chemical
processes
influence body features right
so we have the body structure we have
the weight the height the skin color the
hair color the in manigikan
no are random running the hat no it's
because of what
because of the biological development
okay so it's because of biological
development so it's based on our
heredity
so heredity is defined as the
transmission of traits
from parents to offerings so of course
it's a combination of traits no of
our heredity from our parents
no so it's from one unit from one gene
to another
so i'm i'm actually very confused
of the relationship of genotype and
phenotype no so but this is also coming
from
heredity so i hope kanan you will be
able to understand no so
genotype refers to a specific
information embedded within the genes
well phenotype
is the physical physical expression of a
particular trait it can be
directly observed okay take note huh
genotype is like this can
illustrate na dad is ll mom is
say for example and then that is what
you call as the chromosome
right so the x x and the x y chromosome
the vasa you combine
it the sperm and the egg that is the
genotype but once we talk about the
phenotype
what are the uh characteristics no
physical characteristics that are
observed now coming from your dad
okay based on the x x sorry x
y is it x y chromosome no and the x
x chromosome based on the x x chromosome
coming from your mom
okay so
are the chromosomes okay so i hope
you're getting my point huh
here ready is we got our genes the basic
unit of
uh we got our genes our cheats from our
parents
oh so an example here lactose intolerant
are you locked as intolerant as well
all right so my question now is
what are the physical features of a
person that you find attractive
so you are
sorry miss philippines 20
uh 2020 no so
um or are you attracted with chubby
people
oh they bought shabby horn
class
weird weird
no so um
perception of beauty you know so
that's it what are the physical features
of a person that you find attractive
or usually
so by the way beauty is also cultural
no if you take a look at all of these
rings in the neck no
and that is their perception of beauty
you know in africa as well one of the
tribes there magbud
i don't know nakawa
my goodness in order uh to be
for in order for them to be portrayed as
strong
[Music]
and nintendo
one of the basis of strength as well
from the river no and kanimanga women
in in somewhere in isha nisha
nona tribe
why because beauty is
also cultural you know i even remember
chinese people
i don't know if napalm
five to five to six long size
by five to six size inches
imagine that because that is their
portrayal of beauty
no so
i don't know
so what is the impact of culture and
body image and self-esteem now
if there they would create a big problem
no that's the self-image problem
what do you mean by this it happens when
your looks doesn't match your beauty
standard
okay that's why where is
where do you where are you influenced on
perceptions of beauty
no um are you influenced by what they
say as the coca-cola body you know
so
why because of the false belief
in me are the only beautiful
i can the only beautiful that i see
are those people the slam the only
beautiful that i see are those people
names
but actually it's false it's a false
belief no
the problem here is with your own beauty
standards
and not with your looks no so
portrayals of beauty is
compared to that kind of beauty standard
okay so in order to like your looks in
such a case you must fix your false
belief about your physical
attractiveness
what do we need to do then okay society
has a stand his
uh society has its own standard of
beauty
but we need to to
level with society in order for us to be
called as beautiful
that's actually a big question
and i hope you're not like that i hope
you're not like me before
huh so take note now that body
image is both internal so meaning
personal so we make our own body image
no and external so it is also affected
by society or the people around us
no so this includes how we perceive our
bodies visually so also
while watching this even body while
uh you are uh explaining in france
no so how we feel about our physical
appearance so not only your vision or
visual
portrayals but also immuno feel at that
moment
no are you confident enough to portray
your body
okay in front of everyone right how we
think and talk to ourselves about our
bodies
oh when you face yourself in the mirror
every morning would you say hello
[Music]
so our sense of how other people view
our bodies of course
all the time that is already society's
approval of you
know you also need to consider your own
approval
okay for self-care that's part of what
so now let's talk about the factors
influencing our portrayal of our
physical self the in money
uh where are we influenced no by our
portrayal of the physical self media
no because of actually class um i've
actually uh i i realized
no that media right now
you know
of everyone must be perfect
[Music]
uh adults around us no so usually
especially our parents
[Music]
they will tell us frankly if uh what
what we need to do in our bodies don't
wear this don't read that you don't look
nice
no that's why we are also influenced by
it
right so uh the fundamental ingredients
of self-concept now take note
remember uh ideal self no so the self
ideal
it is actually basically the same i
think no pero
slight a difference it's about uh
bundles of pictures
no on how you want to see yourself
physically okay
now with regards how you want to see
yourself that self ideal
self image naman is um
what how you uh what you see in yourself
as of the moment
okay say for example um you are in front
of many people
no and you are wearing something nice no
and feeling nemo
you don't feel sexy you feel chubby oh
so that is your self image as of the
moment
okay next month is
your uh self-esteem no
so this is how you feel about yourself
okay so if
ever no feeling
right now
you would relay yourself as becoming
confident right because you're proud
no that's it okay
so building a strong and positive
self-image remember her
self-image is how we portray or how we
mirror ourselves as of the moment
to say for example storyaka you're
talking to
your friends no you're talking to your
friends
and then um they're very happy talking
with you
and then at the moment you are very
confident because
of course uh responds towards you
right so at the current moment how you
see yourself know how you mirror
yourself that is self-image
okay so how you portray yourself that is
self-image
now take note how can we build a strong
and positive self-image number one
de-emphasize numbers sometimes class no
or most other times i don't know but
um we tend to value so much our weight
hello 60 kilograms
per diet okay
so cannot now take note realize that we
cannot change our body type
then large short or tall we need to
appreciate the uniqueness of what we
have and work with it
no so if ever you're you're you're short
no
work with it if ever you're you're
chubby
work with it no so because we don't have
the same body type no we have different
body types class
no so comparing yourselves to others
because
um if you compare yourself to others
it's either
or you'll be proud of yourself no so
stop nalang
stop comparing yourself to others create
your own perception of beauty
no spend time with people who have a
healthy relationship
and food activity and their bodies
spend time with those people have a good
mindset about beauty
no and help themselves
know so next question the degree
to which self-esteem is based on our
appearance does it
need to class now our self-esteem must
be based on our appearance
but it's not no part and an appearance
but most of
the time we grow on atoms
team because of our skill our knowledge
know of it our experience of
it no it's not basically just about
appearance right so it's how we portray
it
no next broaden our perspective about
health and beauty by reading about body
image cultural variances
or media influence okay so be
knowledgeable class but do not
be influenced right away okay so take
note
recognize that size is a form of
discrimination
similar to other forms of discrimination
yes
because again we have different body
types and different body sizes
each of us will have a positive body
image when we have a realistic
perception of
our bodies when we accept and celebrate
how we are
and let go of societal or media
or media for perpetuated conditioning
why
no now it's because we are conditioned
say for example miss universe or the
most beautiful
uh ignorant england pakistan miss
universe no
the most beautiful woman in the universe
oh ana
claus so that alone
is meaning
standard now okay this is one of the
most beautiful
girls in the world no
[Music]
is only on those people
not you all right
so take note physical activity can help
individuals to achieve a positive
self-concept and promote psychological
well-being in adolescence
through the improvement of physical
perception and body satisfaction
so it is also very helpful know that you
are active
so it's not only that you will listen to
videos to help yourself physically but
also allow yourself to have that
exercise
to eat healthy not to be active you know
in order for you to improve your
perception
and at the same time your body
satisfaction say for example
um your perception is good but
your body feels that you already kind of
feels lazy to do something
no would it go inside no
so if your physical perception is good
plus you are exercising
what will happen you feel motivated or
you feel good why because you have
incorporated both
all right now if you project a positive
self-image
self-image is what you currently see in
yourself okay as of now
people will more likely see you as a
positive and capable person
of course because compositive inner self
image what
how would your feeling be good right so
if your feeling is good
what will happen you will become
confident of how you portray yourself
you would bring two more no so that's it
so now i want you to uh
answer this activity this is actually a
synchronous activity huh i want you to
complete this and i know
this will be very quickly for you if the
formula
uh if you have formed a positive self
image okay
so complete the sentence below for me
beauty means
blank okay next a beautiful person
is black next i am beautiful or handsome
because
black okay so here makita natto
perception of beauty all right so thank
you so much class and we will
continually proceed to the next lesson
which is the material itself
