Critical Thinking Paper #3 – The Self/Social Product

Class

For this assignment please write a 5-page paper (not including title/reference pages), answering the critical thinking question below. Please feel free to use the Internet and/or other resources to answer the question in detail.

1. Answer the question.
The question is debatable and about which you can write an argumentative paper. The

point is that you should be trying to convince me of your position.

Critical Thinking Question: Do you believe that social interaction influences the “Self” as social product or a social force regarding self-concept or both? Applying Cooley’s the “Looking Glass Theory” to the concept? Please be detailed in your discussion.

2. Do research.

Do research on your topic to inform yourself of both sides of the issue so that you can argue your point as clearly and strongly as possible. You may use the internet, newspapers, journals, or other sources to inform yourself about your topic.

3. Write your paper.

Provide the strongest argument that you can for your issue. Make sure that you follow the proper format clearly stating the issue, your claim, and your premises. Be sure to provide support for your premises. Do your best to avoid vagueness and ambiguity. Please remember to cite your sources and use at least three references.

Your argument, if it is written clearly, would be easily outlined. It may be helpful to outline your own argument either before or after you write it to make sure that it is clear and well structured.

Cooley ́s concept of the looking glass self, states that a person’s self grows out of a person ́s social interactions with others. The view of ourselves comes from the contemplation of personal qualities and impressions of how others perceive us. Actually, how we see ourselves does not come from who we really are, but rather from how we believe others see us.
