Cooleys Looking Glass Self

• SELF emerges by seeing
• it reflected in peoples responses to us
• eventually we begin to anticipate how others
  will treat us and adjust our self-image and
  behavior
• therefore, SELF and SOCIETY (others) are TWO
  SIDES OF THE SAME COIN

• Mead The key to socialization is taking on
  ROLES -- an active process.
• learn the ability to see
• ourselves as others see us
• this is achieved by taking
• the role of the other
• Cooley and Mead allow us to see how society
  CLONES itself through REPRODUCING PEOPLE who
  embody its particular values.
