Each to each a looking glass / Reflects the other that doth pass." This phrase, associated with Charles Cooley, indicates that our sense of self originates in: Answer basic biological drives. psychic energies toward creation and destruction. the first stage of sexual development. genetics. interactions with other people

Interactions with other people.

Explanation:

Charles Cooley (August 17, 1864 - May 7, 1929) have introduced the concept of the Looking glass self in 1902. According to it an individual's idea of self is derived from his or her perception of how other people perceive him or her. It means that in a hypothetical completely isolated environment in which a person can not communicate with other people and never had, this person would not have an idea of self.

The concept of Looking glass self has three components. Let us look at them based on the example of school student named Luke:

Individual imagines how he or she must appear to others in a social situation. Here, how Luke appears to others when he first time drove to school in a freshly gifted car from his parents after getting the license and responds to surprised questions from pears. Later that day Luke imagines how he appeared in this situation. Individual imagines and reacts to what he or she feels the judgment of other people of that appearance must be. Here, some other student tells in envy that, of course, Luke is from a rich family and does not have to work to get stuff. Luke feels offended and defensive, because he still had to work hard to get his license and ends conversation awkwardly. Individual develops his or her sense of self in response through this perceived judgments of others. Here, Luke thinks that he is indeed is not putting enough effort because of his family status and fears that he is not going to be successful on his own when he grows up.
