Socialisation ,part 2

Interactionist, George Herbert Mead argued that our behaviour is conditioned by 2 aspects.

The main idea is that how we behave in the society and affect how people see us.

  1. An 'I' aspect - based on your opinion and act as what we like (we don't care what other people say);
  2. A 'me' aspect - have control over ourselves.


Charles Cooley - We use the way other people interpret our behaviour as evidence of who and what we are (looking - glass self).
