THE REFLEXIVE SELF

The reflexive self theory takes the stand that the information about the self is not happening unbeknown to the individual but rather the individual is aware and reflects on their position and status in society. That the individual is aware of what goes on to shape their identity.

PEACE, LOVE & CHICKEN GREASE.
