Examining George Herbert Mead

Examining George Herbert Mead, he believed in the theory of the self, which is people change and are concerned for other people, as well, as how people react to other. Mead theory was base, on how people help us develop our identity. Examining the detective facility ways in which, employees use symbolic interactionism to imply submission through the new of Mead is through language. According to Cuzzort & King, 2002 “Language is a device by which we obtain the most valued symbolic understandings our culture offer” (p. 321). Example of this that was observes an employee who received their monthly evaluation. Her evaluation expressed that she does not take interaction when working. After her evaluation, the employee begins to sit back and reflect

According to Cuzzort & King, 2002, “This is a mental act, convert and subjective, and within the domain of mind” (p. 322). In the sense of reality, the employee tends to believe, she is valuable employee as long as it is not in the evaluations. Other ways in which, symbolic interactionism to imply submission is by playing the role of a good worker. This behavior can be observed, when an employee adheres to all the rules and policies. This worker comes on time, plays a similar role to the supervisor. Due to the employee being involved in the daily activities, meet all expectations, this is what Mead defines as the “generalized other” (Cuzzort & King, 2002, p. 331).

An employee would be submissive by just accepting the rule and not buckle. Another shape of submission is employees that mandated to do overtime and take their stuck, regardless of their personal lives. This supports Garfinkel theory “that people be placed in circumstance where they are denied their normal reliance on social understandings and must struggle with the situation on their own” (Cuzzort & King, 2002, p. 185). This becomes a struggle for the employee because in once sense, the employee needs their job and money but in the other hand, they have personal things going on that needs handled. Another example is the observation of an employee who decides to interact with another employee who they dislike. This behavior, which is define as an observational device. Employees in some cases, may think their behavior or actions may leave the other employee feeling like something positive may come out of the
