Reflections I,ME

Is there no such thing as our true self?
Are we only actors performing roles based on the positions we occupy in society and culture?

As I plod along through this course I cannot but reflect on myself and life over the last many years. Of all topics to come across was that of suicide. I had to briefly ponder that, and how socially we all had our parts to play in that last desperate action of an old friend. It is also interesting to reflect upon the emergence of a community, to be there nearly from the beginning, and to have witnessed where it has gone up to the point where I have departed from it. From a sociological standpoint I now somewhat understand the how’s and why’s and cycles of it.

Right now I am currently working through a module on Socialization and Symbolic interactionism and part of the module was this video. After watching it I had to sit and write this particular post because well it just made me want to sit and reflect for a few and to write. Here is the video and maybe you might need to reflect as well.
