Charles Horton Cooley's concept of the "looking glass self" involves three steps that are beneficial to understand the self and society today: (i) how we imagine we appear to others; (ii) how we imagine others thoughts or judgments on how we appear; and (iii) whether or not we change our appearance or behavior based on how we think others view us. Apply these three steps to your own experience. Using your body as evidence, highlight some aspect of appearance or behavior and how you have (or have not) changed it based on the imagined interactions/thoughts of others. Be prepared to share this privately with your instructor or in a small group.
