The self has meaning only within the socialcontext, and it is
not wrong to say that the socialsituation defines our self-concept
and our self-esteem. We rely on others to provide a
“socialreality”—to help us determine what to think, feel, and do
.
On the broadest level, self-concept is the overall idea we have
about who we are and includes cognitive and affective judgments
about ourselves.
Self-concept is multi-dimensional, incorporating our views of
ourselves in terms of several different aspects (e.g., social,
religious, spiritual, physical, emotional).
It is learned, not inherent.
It is influenced by biological and environmental factors, but
social interaction plays a big role as well.
Self-concept develops through childhood and early adulthood when it
is more easily changed or updated.
It can be changed in later years, but it is more of an uphill
battle since people have established ideas about who they
are.
Symbolic interactionism is a theory that uses everyday interactions
of individuals to explain society as a whole. Symbolic
interactionism examines stratification from a micro-level
perspective. This analysis strives to explain how people’s social
standing affects their everyday interactions.
In most communities, people interact primarily with others who
share the same social standing. It is precisely because of social
stratification that people tend to live, work, and associate with
others like themselves, people who share their same income level,
educational background, or racial background, and even tastes in
food, music, and clothing. The built-in system of social
stratification groups people together. This is one of the reasons
why it was rare for a royal prince like England’s Prince William to
marry a commoner.
