The Assignment Symbolic interactionists have stressed the importance of the notion of the self. Losing one’s sense of self can also be experienced as a sense of utter powerlessness or helplessness, or perhaps fear. Have you ever been in a position in which you felt you were losing your sense of self? Perhaps you have been treated as an object rather than as a subject, experiencing a loss of subjective freedom. Describe the situation (fully, in detail, from beginning to end), how it happened and the strategies and management practices you used in order to regain your sense of self. The essay should be written in first person. It should not be a œtraditional library/internet research paper. Instead, it should be about the writers personal experiences and/or observations about losing their sense of self, perhaps being treated as an object rather than as a subject experiencing a loss of subjective freedom. These personal experiences/observations should be related to: � symbolic interactionism and its variations to everyday life � the role that language meaning, and everyday interaction play in the shaping of feeling, thinking, creating, and interpreting human beings � how the world �out there� which we know, hold in common with others, and take for granted, it is a social construction, created, and maintained through everyday interactions � how individuals in society acquire a sense of self that is continuously being shaped, reshaped, and changed The writer should thoroughly describe the situation, how it happened and the strategies & management practices they used in order to regain their sense of self. The writer should reference or relate essays or information from the essays from Parts 1-3 of The Production of Reality: Essays and Readings on Social Interaction, which should be the only source cited within the paper. It is an essay on personal experience, so there should not be much citing within the essay, but personal accounts should show relation to information from the source. You should discuss the relevance of your personal experience and what it demonstrated to various ideas and concepts from the source (The Production of Reality: Essays and Readings on Social Interaction). The introduction should clearly explain what you intend to demonstrate. In the conclusion you should explain what you have demonstrated. The source can be found online at
