Create a thesis and an outline on Egoic Consciousness.
I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Egoic Consciousness.Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The voice of the self and its accent or modulations are never identified in the manner identical to that of identifying others’ voices. The voice of self is usually identified by self in the shape of idea or concept alone. The acoustic factor of sound is negligibly small while identifying one’s own voice. Thus body image is also a reflected consciousness of the self, making narcissism a paradigm of self-consciousness.
Marcus West (2004, p521-551) describes consciousness not seen as identical with ego but moves between the mode of functioning of ego and that of an emotional core. He explains such movement as shifting in and out of states where projective identification predominates. (Marcus West, 2004). James Mark Baldwin (2000, p507) (James Mark Baldwin, 2007) points out that an individual self-thought depends on an exercise of two-fold imitative function in which the subjective understanding of the social copy is reached by imitation and the interpretations are confirmed by another act of imitation by which the self-thoughts are ejectively read into the persons of others.
Narcissism is further explained by Luigi Aversa G. et al (2004, p553-568) to have facilitated the creation of a relationship between the ego and the Self through the mediation of the imagined world and through the prospective value of images. ( Luigi. G. Aversa et al, 2004)
Consciousness generally refers to our ongoing awareness of our own thoughts, feelings, sensations and our very existence. (Stephen M. Kosslyn, 2001, p130). Crick and Koch (1998, p97-107) highlighted that attention enriched consciousness, although attention is not necessary for it. (Crick F, 1998 cited in Stephen M Kosslyn 2001)
The current state of egoic consciousness that is being construed as narcissism can be explained via cognitive dissonance and resultant self-perception theory. .
