Charles Horton CooleyGeorge Herbert Mead

Functionalist Perspective:  Groups work together to create a stable society.  Schools and families socialize children by teaching the same basic norms, beliefs, and values.  How would the Functionalism perspective evaluate internet usage on socialization?

Conflict Perspective:  Socialization is a way of perpetuating the status quo.  People learn to accept things the way they are and those in power continue to be in power.  How would the Conflict perspective evaluate internet usage on socialization?

Symbolic Interactionism Perspective:  Human nature is a product of society.  How would the SI perspective evaluate internet usage on socialization?

Cooley:  Self-concept – an image of yourself as having an identity separate from other people.  Looking-glass self – an image of yourself based on what you believe others think of you  We use other people as mirrors to reflect back what we imagine they think of us  Continuous three-stage process, happens very quickly and it is unconscious.

Cooley:  Three steps:  We imagine how we appear to others.  We imagine the reaction of others to our imagined appearance.  We evaluate ourselves according to how we imagine others have judged us  The result is a positive or negative self-evaluation  Our looking glass may be distorted (we miss read other’s perceptions of us  However, even if it is miss read our self-evaluation is as real to us as if it were true.

George Herbert Mead  Define: Significant others, generalized others, role taking, imitation stage, play stage, game stage, me and I.  R/N pages , Socialization and The Self

Mead  Role taking – assuming the viewpoint of another person and using that viewpoint to shape the self- concept.  Role taking is the product of a three-stage process.

Imitation Stage  Children begin to imitate behaviors without understanding why  1 ½ to 2 children will imitate the physical and verbal behavior of a significant other  They do not understand what the physical and/or verbal behaviors mean

Play Stage  Children act in ways they imagine other people would  At the age of 3 or 4 a young child will play the role of a mom, dad, fireman  This play involves acting and thinking as a child imagines another person would.

Game Stage  Children anticipate the actions of others based on social rules.  Children learn to engage in more sophisticated role taking as they become able to consider the roles of several people simultaneously.  Involves several participants, specific rules  Children learn to gear their behavior to the norms of the group

Mead:  Generalized Other – integrated conception of the norms, values and beliefs of one’s community or society  Self is composed of two selves “me” and “I” which are constantly working together  Me – self, created through socialization  I – spontaneous and unpredictable self

“Me”

“I”
