Sociological Imagination The Act Of Drinking Tea

By definition, self-perception is your interpretation of your own behavior. However, your interpretation of yourself could be influenced by what others think and say about you. Sometimes people find themselves over analyzing who they are and they end up degrading themselves or they try to change who they truly are. As emotional human beings, they seem to find themselves being more judgmental toward their own actions and appearances. When others make assumptions, they only see the outside and make judgements based on appearances rather than looking deeper in order to discover the true beauty that’s exists beneath. “Lonesome, With Snails”, “The Mother”, and “Portrait of My Body” are three essays that will be used to explain how self-perception

The looking glass self theory looks at how an individual views themselves. The theorist of this theory is Horton Cooley. The looking glass self is another theory that is separated into stages. This theory is made up of three stages. The first stage id that a person imagines how they are perceived and viewed by others. The second stage of the looking glass theory is when a person imagines how they are judged by others and this is based and concluded by the first stage of the theory which is how a person imagines they are perceived by another individual. The final stage of this theory is the experiencing of a type of feeling or reaction to the staged in one and two. Gbadebo.S.A, (2011), pp124. For example a person may believe that they are perceived as being polite and friendly to another individual. This would be the first stage of the theory (imaging how they are perceived by others).

Cooley’s concept of the “looking glass self” states that a persons identity or self worth comes directly from their social interactions. That our self image is a direct correlation as to the responses and evaluations from others in our society. There are 3 steps:

It is said that we internalise information we gain from the world and then we build it into our sense of self. In other words, when we human are praised and shown love and respect we gain high self-esteem and we forget about it and it doesn’t bother us. However, when we are cussed and something bad is said about us, we tend to think about it not forgetting it and those who experience this would have a low self-esteem. It is also said that those with low self-esteem others can increase it.

The show I am reviewing is House MD, specifically episode 2 in Season 2. The two ways the doctors in House MD exemplify good doctor practices is through their observational skills and ability to collaborate. To give a quick overview, Dr. House is a diagnostician who is presented with a new case every episode. Initially, Dr. House and his team write all the symptoms that the patient presents with, and then they collaborate and discuss possible diagnoses. At first, they believe that the 9 year old patient has terminal cancer. However, the patient appears to be too complacent with the fact that she is going to die; this leads to Dr. House questioning if this bravery is actually a symptom. Because of his observational skills and inclination not to discount any possible symptoms, Dr. House discovers that the patient must have a clot caused by the surgery to remove the benign tumor in her heart. Through collaboration, Dr. House shows his skills of observation.

Women often receive scrutiny in a male dominated workplace. As of 2017, there are 271 general surgery residency programs in the United States. Out of this large number, 16 are lead by women compared to only 1 in 2014 (Sharma). Women’s roles in the workplace are adapting and stereotypes about the differentiation between male and female work are being broken down. Grey’s Anatomy is a show that explores the complexities of balancing the personal and professional lives of medical residents at Seattle Grace Hospital. This study will hope to address how avid viewers of this show interpret the character’s roles and how it correlates with real life.

The video presented the ethics and boundaries and factors that affect those boundaries such as addiction, abuse, absent role models, and patients assuming the professional shares the same feelings as he or she does. Then the video discusses issues the doctor may incur such as “special treatment” of patients, time management, poor awareness of feelings, and the response to the patient.

Sociology consists of studying the behavior of humans in their daily interactions with others by use of the scientific method. However, the scientific method alone can only tell you what you are looking for in the selected data, omitting the possible bigger picture. With combination of C. Wright Mills’s concept of sociological imagination, we are able to step out of our mindset and attempt to view social problems and/ or issues in the most unbiased way possible.

One's self-concept affects one's perception, attitude and behavior, which can be demonstrated during the process of interpersonal communication. Aspects of one's life influence their self-concept, which not only affect how people perceive them but how they perceive themselves. Such things are gender, motivational level and psychological type. It is widely

Sociological Imagination is the ideology started by the American sociologist C.Wright Mills. He described sociological imagination as an understanding of social norms that people take to be natural in the society is actually abnormal. In the case of wine drinking, it seems to be an activity adults do to put them to sleep. Studies show a glass of wine before bed or during exercise helps human bodies to relax and protect one’s muscles. In other words, this is an activity of self-care that can avoid insomnia. Nonetheless, wine drinking has become a custom in the business world in several Asian countries such as Taiwan, China, Japan and Korea, which often lead to alcoholism, liver disease, or cardiovascular.

‘In a very large and interesting class of cases the social reference takes the form of a somewhat definite imagination of how one's self--that is any idea he appropriates--appears in a particular mind, and the kind of self-feeling one has is determined by the attitude toward this attributed to that other mind. A social self of this sort might be called the reflected or looking glass self: " Each to each a

Perception is defined as how you look at others and the world around you. Being able to select, organize and intercept information starts the perceptual process. Perception affects the way people communicate with others. An individual’s pattern of thinking can affect their perception of others. Most people communicate best with people of similar cultures.

On the other hand if you see yourself as an individual who can communicate without a problem and you see that you can keep others interested in a given conversations, your reaction is more positive. Through this looking- glass self we develop a “self” concept. Depending on the observations we make concerning the reactions of others we develop feelings and ideas about ourselves. The reflection we see in the mirror is either negative or positive depending on the feedback we get back from those around us. Misjudgments of the reactions of others become part of our “self” concept also the misinterpretations of how others think of us.
