self

As I consider the nature of myself in each community that I participate in I see myself as a different person with a different personality in each. In the online community I see myself as more laid back and less willing to go the extra mile or to do more than what is required in my online classes. My work community I find myself focused and controlling. I feel as though I am unwilling to let a mistake happen with the children I am watching on my clock. Each of these separate selves are different personality traits that represent me as a person. Each self is unique and different. Only people who see me everyday on every level from school to work and to home see me on each level of my self and know me personally and on a different level than others.

Previously stated is my online self. Laid back and unwilling to go the extra mile. Other online aspects of my self are shy, scared, unwilling to share my whole self, curious, and introverted. I believe that you can never fully know a person just through their online self. You can know their online personality but even then you  are unable to know how they act or be able to see what weird quirks they carry when they walk and talk. All online selves are either a little shy or a little more outgoing then their real self. A lot of people are like me; unwilling to share information before they truely know the people that they are sharing this information with. In the world of today with our many technological advances many people have become comfortable with the internet and are a little more bold when they use it. This form of self see's the relationships they are forming in a different light. They believe that they will never meet these people and so they are more comfortable and they tend to be a little more bold when forming these relationships. In both aspects of self you never can know a person fully because of the differences in their real self that the everyday people see.

Now we consider the nature of morality. Does every self hold a moral compass? Is there just one moral self? Do you need to have a belief in God in order to have a moral self? I believe that ever person within themselves has some sort of moral self or moral compass that guides them. Not everyone decides to listen to their moral self but they all have one. Morality is not based on whether or not you believe in a higher order or a superior being but is simply a tiny voice deep inside you telling you what is right and what is wrong. Your moral self can be ignored and pushed deep down inside you so that your guilt and conscience will stop counciling you to choose the right way but it will always be there no matter how hard you try to get rid of it.
