Selective Power Point SlidesDr. William Marsiglio
Society and the Individual
Mead’s Theoretical Model of Mind, Self, and Society
Society (organized social community characterized by members’ intersubjectivity)
Selfhood: reflexivity (subject and object), developmental phases—imitation, play, and game
Mind: acquired when person uses symbols, not merely signs; process involves internal conversation of significant gestures
Taking the role of the other: interpret meaning
Significant gestures: respond to perceived intent
Social acts (minimal social grouping)
• Think of two platonic friends whom you’ve met since graduating from high school, and have known for roughly the same amount of time, but one (Friend A) you consider to be a close friend and the other (Friend B) is not.
• List 1-2 significant favors you have done for “A” that you have NOT done for “B”.
• List 1-2 significant favors “A” has done for you that “B” has NOT done for you.
• Name 1-2 new and different favors that you might ask “A” to do but would probably not ask “B” to do.
• Describe what led you to be willing to have certain types of exchanges (favors) with “A” that you don’t have with “B”?
