Document Summary
Mead: self composed of two complementary elements. Imitation of others through positive and negative reinforcement: develop i, me forming in background, play stage (3-5) Dubois: black americans possess double-consciousness, double consciousness: term for a sense of self that is defined, in part, through the eyes of others, necessary and possible only through, and because of, their ongoing oppression. Internet becoming the most used: highest income uses internet more. Summary: in the nature versus nurture debate, the nature argument, represented today by evolutionary psychologists, holds that our genetic makeup determines much of our behaviour. The nurture argument, while appreciating the role that biology plays in some aspects of our behaviour, holds that socialization is a more important force in determining who we are. Individuals: social structure, culture, socialization is process through which culture and social organization come to affect the individual. Institutionalization involved: socialization is learning everything, learning culture.
