Imagine you are interviewing teenagers in order to understand how they develop their sense of self. Which of the following statements can be classified as a statement of self that could be attributed to the concept of the looking-glass concept?

  b. I love playing chess. I'm not so great, but all my friends are in the chess club.
  c. Riding the bus is lame. It just takes so long when I could be doing other things.

Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

If we look closely enough when we observe people walking through a shopping mall or going to a concert or sporting event, it is not hard to make educated guesses about many of them. We can identify their gender and perhaps their age, race or ethnicity, and maybe even their religion (for example, if they are wearing some kind of identifying clothing). The way they dress may also convey something about their income. The way they speak might tell us if they are well-educated or not or if they are from a particular region of the United States or from a foreign country. When we people watch in this way, we are, without necessarily realizing it, beginning to engage our sociological imaginations. We are using information we know about our society to make educated guesses about the individuals we encounter.
