People often compare themselves to others to feel more socially accepted or to set themselves apart from others. Others perceive us how we perceive ourselves. Having higher self-esteem causes others to pick up on that confidence and they themselves have confidence in you. If you are constantly worried about what you say or if you are concerned about what others think you project the idea in people head that you have low self-esteem. Others pick up on your negative energy and can use this against you.

According to humanist psychologist Abraham Maslow, our actions are motivated in order achieve certain needs.
This critique will explore the weakness of subjective evidence, logical fallacy and confusing structure. Fromm suggests humans intrinsically lean towards being “obedient” as it provides a feeling of comfort and power in being part of a group. He also states however that most major growth in humanity has come due to disobedience. Its only when humans question the norm. To support this using the elements on conscious and obedience there is authoritarian conscious and humanistic conscious.
“The Perils of Obedience” Obedience is defined as dutiful or submissive behavior with respect to another person or group of people. It is usually referred to as a positive aspect, but in the case of “The Perils of Obedience” by Stanley Milgram, in which obedience to authority causes other people harm, it can easily be argued as an extremely negative factor. In defense of her personal opinion about Milgram’s experiment, Diana Baumrind wrote “Review of Stanley Milgram’s Experiments on Obedience” to demonstrate that obedience is not always the right action to partake in. Although the sources have extremely different views of obedience, they both have several of the same subtopics, including validity, sympathy, and conformity. In “The Perils of Obedience”, Milgram was trying to prove a point that shows how far someone will go to be obedient to the authority.
Another, more general criticism of functionalism is the argument that it is somewhat "naive" in that it assumes that there is consensus: that everyone in the structure holds the same norms and values; that we all essentially believe in and work for the same thing. Many theorists take issue with this component and argue that Western society is more accurately characterized as groups of people in a society competing for resources, wealth, and power. More importantly, these groups do not all believe the same thing (in fact, many are counter-culture) and are thus in conflict with each other. Many Conflict theorists would take the pessimistic view expressed earlier that poverty serves a function in a
Included in these human indwelt instincts are two instincts that prevail as more controlling than all the others: the desire to be loved (Eros), and an inclination toward aggression in order to pursue this love. The desire for a human to be loved is extremely different from the desire for a human to love. Humans do not naturally desire to please others or love them because of their selfish nature. When discussing human nature, Freud concludes that humans are naturally anti-social and anti-communal. Humans naturally think about themselves first, and ultimately what will benefit the self the most is the most important.
Nowadays, our society raises us to believe that obedience is good and disobedience is bad. We are taught that we should do all what we’re told and that disobedient people are mostly accused of being bad people. Society tells us this, but it is not true. Disobedience is sometimes a necessary transitional phase and it’s not always harmful as people claim. Could disobedience be the step to a prosperous future or to the end of human civilization?
In Confucianism they believe people will follow their leader. On the contrary, Legalism, believes that people should not be given the choice to do good because if they have that choice it’s very unlikely they will try to do good. The law has to prevent people from doing any bad, and the consequences were very harsh, so that people will do the right thing. As you can see, they both have very different beliefs. But one thing they have in common is that they both want people to do good, and do the right thing.
The two types of norms that exist are formal and informal. Formal norms are pretty much what we call laws in our society, while informal norms are pretty much norms in which there is a mutual agreement among everyone in a society to follow. Norms can be viewed as all the petty things and the serious things combined in which all citizens should abide by. It can be more important than laws in a way because informal norms cover a lot of things in which there can be many disagreements among people and can cause fights, which might escalate to violating laws. It is not very clear if all people in a society follow all the norms, but it is clear people understand these norms and live their life according to it.
When Pride is not Enough: How Love Conquers All in Pride and Prejudice Pride is most often associated with egocentrism. It ultimately centers around oneself. It is the inordinate opinion of ourselves. When one feels pride, he or she takes merit in their accomplishments and abilities. However, there is a difference between one’s self-respect and self-esteem, and haughtiness.
