one's self reflected in interactions
with others”
CHARLES COOLEY

The self emerges from social experience. It

is not part of the body and it does not
exist at birth, but it is distinctly what
makes us humans.
the self is reflective and reflexive.

the self

others.
b. Play stage: children pretend to play the role of

a particular or a significant other.
c. Game stage: children take on the perspective

What is SELF?
d. Generalized other: the perspectives and
expectations of a network of others (or a
society in general) that a child learns and then
takes into account when shaping his/her own
behavior
e. Dual nature of the self: the believe that we

experience the self as both subject and
object, the “I” and “me”
GEORGE HERBERT
MEAD
What is SELF?
“Everyday social life becomes theatrical.
There are roles, scripts and actions. Daily
life is a series of stagecraft rules.”

SELF IN FAMILIES
from Ma’am Amparo Roberta A. Espinosa’s pptx
vFamily initiates a person to become

that serves as the basis for his
person’s progress.
vHuman persons learn the ways of
living and therefore their selfhood
by being in a family.
vWithout family, biologically and
sociologically, a person may not
even survive or become a human
person.
GENDER from Ma’am Amparo Roberta A. Espinosa’s pptx
and the SELF

• The gendered self is shaped within
a particular context of time and
space.
• The sense of self that is being
taught makes sure that an
individual fits in a particular
environment.
• Gender has to be personally
discovered and asserted and not
dictated by culture and society.
