“The actualising tendency refers to the tendency in all forms of organic life towards more complex organisation, the fulfilment of potential, and in human beings, the actualisation of the whole person including the persons self” (Merry 2002). Through my own experience I believe there is a need for positive self regard in order for an individual to make positive choices and trust in their own decisions.”To develop a sense of trust in the accuracy and reliability of our own inner experiencing” (Merry 2002). Again through personal experiences I understand the effect of the conditions of worth have on individuals. I believe that these affect us later in life and can be explored
An Uncontrollable Shift As one advances in life, there will always be a slight, if not a complete turnaround, of a person’s identity within themselves. Whether from a spontaneous revelation, or a lifelong pursuit, the reshaping of one’s identity is a key point in a person’s life that can bring about drastic change in one’s everyday life, either socially or personally. In the texts of Paulo Freire and Richard Rodriguez, it is evident that identity is an abstract thing; a thing that can be influenced, shaped, and eventually concreted at a certain point of realization. It is under this “abstract” definition of identity that the reader can better understand what it really means to truly change what it is means to live. It is not a question of if a given person will experience a reshaping of identity; rather, it is a mere question of when and how it will occur.
They are able to transform with the help of imagination, and our ability to spontaneously generate images within out mind. It helps provide meaning to experience and it is a fundamental facility through which people make sense of the world, and keeps us able to manage our lives. Landscape in our minds is not what we literally see, but how we want to see things. As life is experienced, it is interpreted via our senses; as such it is perceived by contrast to most thoughts and imaginings. In fact, reality leaves a lot to the imagination and mind to process what is concrete into something more dimensional.
Change through experience is an evolutionary and unavoidable process that can generally be defined as the act or instance of making or becoming different, and is a major factor that influences and significantly impacts on individuals’ lives. When an individual undergoes change, it results in an alteration of the individual’s viewpoints, perspectives and how they understand themselves in relation to their surroundings and relationship with other people. We can explore notions of Change through the novel ‘Looking for Alibrandi’, by Melina Marchetta and the short animated film, ‘Harvie Krumpet’, by Adam Elliot. The main causes of change in the two texts are alterations in the characters’ perspectives and the protagonist’s relationships. Our understanding of the consequences of change

According to Rogers, it is a tendency toward fulfillment, actualization, maintenance, and enhancement of the organism. Therefore, the inherent tendency of the organism is to actualize itself. In addition, the self consists of perceptions about oneself and one’s relationships to others as well as to the diverse aspects of life and they all have values attached to them. And gradually, the perceived self (self-concept) influences perception and behavior. When the self-concept and the actual experience of the organism itself are in opposition, the self loses contact with the actual organismic experience and gets filled with tensions.
Each individual creates and moves within his or her own reality. Although this reality can be shaped by perceptions and conclusions drawn from experiences, circumstances and knowledge or ignorance, the roles and the expectations for the performance of these roles may shape an individual’s reality or alter the same. The behavior that is associated with an individual’s role, whether ascribed or attained, can be further complicated by that person’s status in any given societal setting. Expectations for these roles are sometimes complicated by the number of roles attached to a person of any status. For some, conflict arises when the demands or expectations of the different roles begin to compete for a priority position of time, energy and attention.
‘At the heart of On the Waterfront is an exploration of how individuals are products of their environment.’ Even though individuals can be products of their environment, other factors can influence the ways in which our lives will be lived. Every individual has their own views on what they should be like, all aspiring to be a particular person, but our environment can change how an individual will go about achieving this. Our environment does not stand in isolation; everything that is encounter on a daily basis can influence our being, such as our socio-economic status and our up-bringing. In the film ‘On the Waterfront’ we see how these factors can influence one’s life. All the characters are from the same environment but they are all different in their own unique way, some think that it is ok to stay “D and D” and others think that, that is wrong and everyone should use their voice.
