The aspect of self-esteem and its implications for society are both contentious and polarizing. On one end of the spectrum, many cite social media as a means of encouraging self-esteem through social groups and other networks. Others, counter this argument by pointing to research showing that social media has adverse impacts on the self-esteem of young women (Antony, 2005). Likewise, proponents for homeschooling indicate the parents are a primarily catalyst of for self esteem as they have the ability to impacts their childs thoughts without the intervention of other students. This argument is also countered by research that shows peer groups, particularly for adolescents often can have the greatest benefit towards developing self-esteem for students (Tracy, 2003). Through this paper, the aim is to provide evidence that self-esteem, particular for homeschooled children can have varying outcomes depending on a variety of factors. These factors, which include age, sex, socio-economic status, time spend on social media websites, and others can either have a positive or a negative impact on the student.
To begin, research has shown that social media has a disproportionate impact on the self esteem of students irrespective of the school they intend. The correlation between self esteem and the different forms of school a student attends is very low. As the internet is ubiquitous, its ability to permeate the lives of all students is very large. Exacerbating this issue, is that social media allows students to from connections primarily with like-minded individuals, which often excludes those with opposing views or thoughts. These silos harm students, particularly adolescents as their brains are still forming during this period. As a result, of only seeing certain...

" (Lisa Rivero, page 107) Gardner presented eight other ways that parents can use in home schooling. Those eight ways that Gardner presented are showing the child intelligence. Examples and associations are simplifying the learning process. The eight ways of Gardner are: "through words (linguistic intelligence), through numbers and reasoning (logical -- mathematical intelligence), through music (musical intelligence), through pictures (spatial intelligence), through our bodies and movement (bodily -- kinesthetic
Home-schooling can be a safe alternative to normative schooling. For decades, across the country, there is an abundance of statistical data demonstrating that national averages including tests scores, frequency of student suspension, and occurrence of school violence are all on the rise. While it is true that not all schools are prone to or experience excessive violence, it can be argued that overall, the school environment is less safe and
Home Schooling "Since public schools have become over crowded, guns and violence are a daily occurrence, and private schools are so over priced for the average family, home schooling has become an excellent alternative." Education all the while has been a burning issue, it has been talked about in political fraternities, in the media and expectantly, in the households of America.

Self-Esteem and Nursing When I first began to study and learn about nursing, I never thought very much of what the concept of self-esteem meant to me. Self-esteem seemed like an abstract psychological concept, and I still was mainly preoccupied with the demands of nursing as a physical profession that required technical expertise. However, as I grew wiser, I began to see how my initial assumptions were fundamentally in error. People

This is because the individual trusts their opinion and tends to believe it is true. The workplace environment is another important factor that determines the self-esteem of the individual. If employees are appreciated by their colleagues, this makes them feel good
Self-esteem and self-efficacy are linked traits, which are both connected with locus of control and emotional stability as well (Judge & Bono, 2001). According to Judge & Bono (2001), along with locus of control and neuroticism, self-esteem and self-efficacy can impact such behavioral counterparts as job performance, job satisfaction, communications effectiveness, and relationship stability. There is a bi-directionality in the relationship between self-esteem and self-efficacy, in that self-esteem engenders self-efficacy;
