UTS FINALS Flashcards
One of the first to describe the self as the totality of everything that one calls his or hers, which included what he called the “material self.”
William James
This material self focuses more on the body, ourM clothes and belongings, our immediate family, as well as the place we call home.
William James
further researched the
material self and theorized how objects become extensions of ourselves or our identities. These objects extend ourselves
in space and time.
Russell Belk
A tool helps double our strength, a weapon extends our reach, a uniform helps us relate with a group or a t-shirt can remind us of our travels.
Russell Belk
He noted three ways in which we connect
with objects:
1. Through controlling an object
2. Through either creating or buying it 3. Knowing about something creates a
connection between you and that object of your
interest.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Like learning to ride a bike or finally teaching your dog a trick that you want him/her to do. We also connect through using objects to control others, like giving gifts or using bribes.
Through controlling an object
Because you spend blood and sweat on a project, for example, you tend to give it more importance than having a good grade, for it affects you emotionally more than a project
you just haphazardly made.
Spending too much money on something would also make you care for it more, like when someone wants to borrow your custom-made
bike or car, and you keep an eye on them in case they scratch it.
Through either creating or buying it
recent culture and economy have shifted our focus from
production to
consumption
A simple example is investing your time in studying or even mastering something about engineering, biology, art, music, or history. InN time, you might be called an engineer, a
biologist, an artist, a musician, or a historian, which will be part of your identity. Another one is knowing about a person romantically and on a more intimate level that he/she becomes a part of you.
Knowing about something
In 1992,____developed the Material Values Scale (MVS) to measure materialism in consumers.
Richins and Dawson
is about the belief of a person on the importance of material objects to the achievement of happiness or success
Materialism
Several psychological studies support that materialism is
inversely related to
self-esteem.
creates a connection between you and that object of your interest
knowing about something
there seems to be a similar experience in the development of the material self throughout the life of a person.
cultural differences
The connection of self to the material world
develops and changes over time.
According to Belk (1988), there could be four stages of this development:
- The infant distinguishes self from environment;
- The infant distinguishes self from others;
- Possessions help adolescents and adults manage their identities
- Possessions help the old persons have a sense of continuity and preparation
for death.
who explained our relationship with the material world starts with the idea that whoever gets something first is its owner
Jarrett (2013)
It is when a child finds a toy and does not want to let go of it, or another baby takes the toy and the first one throws a tantrum because it was taken from him or her.
finder keepers
which aim to develop the
skills of a child toward more independence
transitional objects
like the happiness that you get from it.
Emotional attachment
the ability of the object to attract people or make
you feel that you belong
Social meaning
how an object is related to our concept of self, like buying an eight-note necklace because you think you are a musician
Personal association
The problem is the love of money, not the money itself. Money is important,
but it should be perceived as a means to a better end. You should not sacrifice short-term satisfaction and happiness for long-term fulfillment and joy
Keep your perspective in check
“The goal is to be rich, not to look rich.” In many instances, it is the appearance that we perceive first. But pretension can only go so far. Having your own money actually lets you buy what you want and what you need. You will
have a higher probability of not lending in case of emergency, and you will not be in bad debt trying to please other people.
Have money, do not just pretend
Have your goal for both short-term (3 months to 1 year) or long-term (more
than a year). Do not just think of something to buy but also something to improve your financial status. Then, keep that goal in mind instead of
comparing yourself with others, as we all have different experiences, including backgrounds. Do not chase after others; build your own
Have your own goal. Take your own time
Many people do not like the word “budget” because it sounds restrictive, but it is not. When you have a budget, you have a) a realistic idea of what you can spend on whatever you want and b) peace of mind that you have at least taken care of the important needs that you have to pay for. Start by making a list of your common expenses for a month and the estimated money you spend on them. Also, include how much money you are willing to save or invest. Then,
make the necessary adjustments
Budget, budget, budget
Having savings in the bank provides security in case of emergencies. Others may have or opt for a separate emergency and savings account, as the savings account can be reserved for a long-term project, like a house. You must not use your savings until an emergency comes or until you can finally use them to purchase a long-term goal.
Save in order to be safe
Make a list when going to the grocery/mall and prioritize buying those things in your list before you buy anything else when you have the spare
money.
Keep your spending habits in check
Sometimes, the budget can be too tight, or the money in the bank is not
growing enough. Therefore, you must find legal ways to increase your income. Any good means to add to your allowance or current income. Just also be sure that you still have time for yourself, your studies, and your family.
Increase income flow
those we acquired but do not necessarily need and/or
do not increase our financial capabilities
Bad debts –
are those we acquire that will increase our financial capabilities.
Good debts
Increasing your financial capabilities takes time and honest work. But, there are means of increasing your income wherein, after putting in the necessary initial work, the money will grow on its own and will yield profit higher than just being in a bank. This is through passive income sources or investments like stocks
exchange, mutual funds, bonds, royalties and real estate.
Make your money grow
EDD
Engage only in a business that you understand.
Do not engage in quick-money pyramid schemes.
Diversify: Do not invest all your money in one place or one
type of business, but do not enter them too thinly. Invest in
around three for a start.
Following the plan of action, you will reach a time when you have a steady flowN of income, both from your work and your investments. You know how to budget things so you can address your needs and enjoy some luxury
Protect the future
The steps are all about keeping you safe and helping you grow financially. The mastermind behind all of these is you. Therefore, you must never stop learning and improving yourself, your skills, and your passions, among others. The more you know,
the more opportunities you can see as well as traps to avoid. Health is also one of the greatest wealth one can have, so have time to eat right and exercise.
Your greatest investment is still yourself
Enjoy your profits, keep a good relationship with your family, have a healthy and romantic relationship, serve the community, take a hobby, engage in arts or sports, plant a tree, or adopt a stray pet.
Enjoy life no matter what
