It's the idea of actually being you without comparing yourself to anyone else. By comparing ourselves to others we are putting those people above us and us below them. Its important to take aspects we like in others and adapt them to our needs, and not try to replicate those aspects exactly. Check out this video on the topic of Authentic Self:
Another topic that came up was social groups. The reason some bully others is because of "Social Identity Theory". We divide ourselves into categories. In groups and out groups. An in group discriminates against an out group because it enhances there self esteem. We're all looking for the recognition of others.

I plan to do more research on these topics later. I feel they will really help me to form a solid project.
Here are some more related sources to use later:
