Study Notes
Sociology and Society
- Sociology is the scientific study of group interactions across varying scales, from small personal groups to large societies.
- A society consists of individuals in a defined geographic area who interact and share a common culture.
- Culture encompasses shared practices, values, beliefs, and the overall way of life within a group, including social rules.
The Self and Social Constructionism
- The self is characterized as separate, self-contained, independent, consistent, unitary, and private.
- Social constructionism emphasizes the intertwined nature of individual identity with social context; they are not easily separable.
- The self is dynamic, continuously influenced by participation in social life and interactions.
Marcel Mauss' Concept of the Self
- Mauss identified two aspects of self:
- Moi: Represents an individual's basic identity.
- Personne: Represents social definitions and expectations regarding identity.
Mead's Theory of the Social Self
- Learning occurs through observing others; this forms part of self-development.
- The "Looking Glass Self" concept suggests self-perception is shaped by internalizing others' views.
- Self-development follows three stages:
- Language: Essential for self-expression and comprehension.
- Play: Involves role-playing and embodying the perspectives of others.
- Game: Integrates awareness of societal rules into self-concept.
Active Process of Self
- Mead proposes that self-identity is an active process influenced by social interactions, not merely a reflection of society.
- Distinction between "I" (self-perception) and "Me" (how others perceive us).
