Paper Summary:

In this article, the writer discussed the conception of identity as rooted in interaction with society.
The writer discusses the relevant beliefs of George Herbert, Mead Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann. The writer explains that they all believed that a human being's identity is forged from the interactions they have with society.

From the Paper:

"George Herbert, Mead Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann all believed that a human being's identity is forged from the interactions they have with society. Mead drew a fundamental distinction between the self which was a person's body and was capable of a limited form of physical intelligence and the I and the Me that form a person's psychic identity. The I and the Me in turn were the dichotomy between an individual's sense of their own identity and the same individual's conception of their interactions with society."
