Chapter two of Social Selves was all about dealing with our own self- identities. He states a lot about how our surroundings and self conscience shapes what our identities are. Burkitt talks about the pragmatist's view upon ourselves. He talks about how with pragmatism people are able to bend their worlds in the ways they want by doing what they feel is right in their minds. I like the way pragmatist approach things. I feel that we as individuals can control a lot of things in our lives if we applicate ourselves in the right ways to be set up for success.
In this changing world there are more and more ways for people to create opportunities for themselves and shape their worlds. More ways for people to show people what they are about morally. Online social networks are just one of the growing ways for people to do this. People online can create their profile to look and promote what they want to be seen as. Creating and showing off their identities. I really enjoyed this chapter because Burkitt showed me a different way to look at myself.
