Answer to Question 1

According to Mead, role-taking is the process by which a person mentally assumes the

role of another person or group in order to understand the world from that person's or

group's point of view. Role-taking often occurs through play and games, as children try

out different roles (such as being mommy, daddy, doctor, or teacher) and gain an

appreciation of them. First, people come to take the role of the other (role-taking). By

taking the roles of others, the individual hopes to ascertain the intention or direction of

the acts of others. Then the person begins to construct his or her own roles (role-

making) and to anticipate other individuals' responses. Finally, the person assumes her

or his particular roles (role-playing).
