Charles Horton Cooley and the Symbolic Interactionism Theory Should we associate the abandonment of ‘self’ with symbolic interactionism? Do you feel the need to ‘change your stripes’ to fit in with society? ‘An individual is an abstraction unknown to experience‚ and so likewise is society when regarded as something apart from individuals.... Society and individuals do not denote separable phenomena‚ but are simply collective and distributive aspects of the same thing…’ (Thomas Francis O ’Dea)

There is an ongoing problem that I would love to understand and possibly solve. That problem is racial inequality and the dehumanizing of “others”.
