Concept of socialization


Discuss George Herbert Mead’s concept of socialization using course theories such as Freud’s notions of the Ego, Id and Superego, Victor Turner’s 3 stages of child development involving rites of passage, and try to tie these all together into a general discussion of the ‘Self’. What does Cooley mean by the “Looking Glass Self”? (include here the idea about how others serve as a mirror for the developing self).
