  4. Two Competing Views of Socialization • George Herbert Mead (1863-1931) • self emerges through a process of symbolic interaction • “action”: • "behavior directed by the meanings people attach to their behavior and to the situation” • Interaction: • "behavior among two or more persons guided by mutual understandings of meaning" • understandings occur through symbols
