...Brumfeld, Ronnie Evans Barksdale College Abstract Self-esteem is an individual's estimate of one's own self worth, the extent of individual views of good, competence, and decent. Within this activity paper we will discuss why self esteem is important, and why there are discrepancies between the actual self and the ideal self. This paper will discuss the theory of cognitive dissonance in regards to the self-evaluation theory, self-affirmation theory and the realization trap while defining the self-discrepancy theory. The need for high individual self-esteem may lead to irrational logic and individual actions against their own best interest as will be theoretically supported throughout this paper. Concluding that our teams position, will support the theory that individual competence may be inaccurate at times to maintain individual self-esteem. Self-esteem is defined as an individual’s estimate of his or hers own self-worth and the extent of individual views of what is good competent and decent. This activity paper will discuss the importance of self-esteem and explore any discrepancies between the actual self and the ideal self. The theory of cognitive dissonance as it relates to the self-evaluation theory, self-affirmation theory and the realization trap will be covered while also defining the self-discrepancy theory. This paper will theoretically support the concept of the need for high individual self-esteem and how it may lead to irrational logic and individual...

Please see the link at the end of the syllabus to register. Class Participation is based on my evaluation of the quantity and quality of you questions posed in class and the level of individual participation in class discussions. Group Report: There will be one group activity in this course, investing in a hypothetical portfolio, that will be managed and presented towards the latter half of the quarter. You will complete this activity by working in self-selected 3-4 person teams. Each member of the group will receive the same grade in this component. Tests: We will have two midterm tests during the quarter and a final exam week. The final test is not cumulative. These tests will be closed book, closed notes in nature and will focus on core ideas and financial approaches to solve real world questions. However, you can bring into each test one 8 ½ by 11 inch sheet of formulas. You will need to internalize the core concepts of the course to succeed in these exams Two hours of time is allowed to complete each test. Tests will include both qualitative and quantitative questions. The qualitative questions will be short answer - so "kind of knowing" doesn't usually work if you want full credit. Regular class attendance will assist in your preparation for these types of questions. The quantitative questions...
