Hey, there! This is Charles Horton Cooley. He is perhaps best known for his concept of the Looking-Glass Theory.

Cooley believes that the human mind's social and mental abilities directly result from social interaction. The self is defined by socialization. Using social interaction as a type of "mirror," people use the judgments they receive from others to measure their own worth, values, and behavior. I totally agree with Cooley's looking glass theory. In our modern generation, where the rise of social media makes the process of the looking glass infinitely more complex. We now have different platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and so many more that make it possible for us to connect with our friends in ways we - 

Wow!

never imagined. However, this exposure led us to an ever-increasing number of "mirrors," thus proposing new questions about the development of the self. I myself experience cyber identity, where I have my own version of self in the digital world. I present myself in a way that everyone does on social media. Little did I know, social media was feeding my insecurities. It caused me to compare my lives instead of appreciating who I am. But on the other hand, it offers a lot of positive sides. Like I gained confidence, I made friends online and enhanced my creativity.

That is Rene Decartes. Most commonly known for his philosophical statement "I think, therefore I am".

Who's that man?

I would say that Rene Decartes and I had the same beliefs. Even though everything we see in this world could be an illusion, the only thing that is certain is that I exist. I could be in a world that is full of illusions. Even my thoughts can be illusory, but what isn't an illusion? Is that there is someone to experience them. I'm experiencing what I think. "I think, therefore I am." The one truth that I believe is that I exist.

Last but not the least, Mr. Erik Erikson is best known for his famous theory of Psychosocial Stages of Development

In this theory, the ego contributes to the development of the self by mastering attitudes, ideas, and skills at each stage of development. In every stage, there are developmental tasks to learn towards a healthy personality. An individual experiences a life crisis and there is a need to overcome conflicts to develop into a healthy and well-adjusted adult.
