Quiz #1 SSWR 102 Relational and Reflective Skills Winter 2021 Name and Student Number: Seven Questions: 45 Marks Total Question #1 One of the things that shapes our self-concept is other people. Sometimes these persons are significant persons in our lives and they nonverbally and/or verbally send us messages that we are valuable, loved, worthwhile, etc. or they may send messages that we are not worthy, not valued, not loved, etc. Ultimately these messages impact our self-esteem. These persons can be thought of as ego busters or ego boosters and they send us ego boosting and/or ego busting messages. However, significant persons are not the only people who can be ego busters or ego boosters, even strangers can pay us a compliment or say something mean and this may also impact our self-esteem. Moreover, we can also be ego busters and ego boosters in other people’s lives. You may say something mean and demeaning to your brother or give a compliment to your best friend about her new haircut. Not only do other people act as ego busters and ego boosters in our lives, but we also act as ego busters and ego boosters in other people’s lives. People send us messages about our self-worth, but we also send people messages about their self-worth. Others impact us, but we must also take responsibility that we impact others as well.

You have to stay quiet, or else you’ll get into trouble and your parents will have to get rid of you. Be a good girl and don’t tell”.
