The Self From Sociological Perspective
The Self From Sociological Perspective
THE
SOCIOLOGICAL
PERSPECTIVE
BY: BEA TRIXIE Q. MONDEJAR
In the realm of sociology, the
self interacts with the social
world. Initially, the self is self-
absorbed and is just concerned
on its own. Progressively, the self
expands and is now concerned
with other constellation of
selves, known as others.
No one could live by himself or herself
alone. By extension, man will always look for
someone to commune with.
- According to Mead, it is
an organized community
which gives to the
individual his or her
unity of self. The
attitude of the
generalized other is the
attitude of the entire
community.
