By the looking-glass self, Cooley meant the self-image that each of us develops according to the messages we receive from others; we think and behave according to our understanding of those messages. If, for example, a young girl is repeatedly told that she is pretty, she will come to believe that: (1) she is in fact pretty, and (2) being pretty is an important thing in her life. Similarly, if she is told that she is not good (or not expected to be good) at certain things such as math, she will come to believe that she is not good at such things and would be better off working at things she can be successful at. The likely product is a young woman who devotes a great deal of attention to her appearance, regards being pretty as a key to success in life, and who is intimidated by anything connected with numbers.
Since we know that young girls are given messages like these, and that young boys are given different messages, we can see a good part of how sex roles are taught. There is little or no evidence of differences in what young girls and young boys can do, but the older children become, the greater the differences in the areas in which boys and girls are interested.
According to the passage, if one is given a certain message about himself or herself time and again, he or she will ______.
A.regard it as important in all his or her life
B.pay much attention to his or her appearance
C.find it believable and then behave accordingly
D.make it known to others to see whether it is true
【其它】Unit 4 Homework Underline the topic sentence in the following paragraphs. Paragraph one The high school students often have to study deep into the night, and their parents become worried. The parents think that they might get ill if they continue like that, so some of them try to persuade their children to work less and rest more. But most of the boys and the girls do not dare to relax even a little. As a result, the parents have to turn to the teachers for help and ask them to assign less homework. Paragraph two In some places of Peru and Bolivia, one speaks of the future as behind oneself and the past as "ahead". It makes foreigners puzzled. But the people in those places will explain it by saying: "If you try to see the past and future with your mind’s eye, which can you see? Obviously, it is the past that we can see and so it must be ahead of us: and the future which you cannot see, is of course behind you. Such an explanation suggests that there may be opposite ways of describing the same thing, yet they are both reasonable. Write a topic for the following paragraph. Young people move out and mind their own business every day. On usual days, they would not like to take their time to visit their parents with the excuses of business. On some festival days, they probably share a little time to drop in their parents or even just send some presents but don’t show up personally. They think that presents can represent their love, however, to the parents, who overcame a lot of difficulties to bring them up, those stuff are far away from what they really hope for.
A major sociological(社会学的)theory known as symbolic interactionism(符
号互动论)offers some important clarification of how men and women are taught to fill different roles in society.The key concept in symbolic interactionism is that communication makes a big difference in behavior:people act on the basis of messages they receive from others,and how they understand those messages. This can be seen in a concept developed by sociologist Charles Horton Cooley known as the looking-glass self.
By the looking-glass self,Cooley meant the self-image that each of us develops according to the messages we receive from others;we think and behave according to our understanding of those messages.If, for example,a young girl is repeatedly told that she is pretty, she will come to believe that(1)she is in fact pretty,and(2)being pretty is an important thing in her life.Similarly,if she is told that she is not good(or not expected to be good)at certain things(such as math) she will come to believe that she is not good at such things and would better off working at things she can be successful at.The likely product is a young woman who devotes a great deal of attention to her appearance,regards being pretty as a key to success in life,and who is intimidated by anything involving numbers.

You know, I understand what you are thinking. And of course, there are many serious issues facing women. I mean, there are so many that I could mention, the AIDS crisis, workplace and equality, the way the mass medial treats women, that is, the way they stereotype women and so on. But I'd like to point out that in addition to these issues, the language question is also on the minds of international organizations, such as the United Nations, who try very hard to avoid sexism in their publications. You see, the issue isn't just the words themselves, but the ideas behind the words.
Have you ever thought about the roles that boys and girls play in children's literature? It often seems that the boys are the ones having all the fun, having adventures and so on, while the girls just stand in the background, smiling sweetly. You see, women tend to be pushed to the background in society. By focusing on the language we use about women, we may be able to change their expectations. Here is a question about the relationship between the way we think and the way we talk. For example, if we say "chair" instead of "chairman", do you really think we'll start imagining more women in powerful positions? Again that's a very interesting question. And yes, it's true that we don't completely understand the relationship between language and thought. So does what we say affect what we think? The answer is probably yes. I for one would say that if we speak about people in certain ways, that definitely has an influence on the way we think about them. Imagining a little girl who grows up hearing "chairman" "chairman" "chairman", what is she going to think of when she hears this word? A man, of course. But we must give young people the idea that women can also enter the professional world and be successful. One of my students once asked: does this controversy about how we use language exist in other languages, too? My answer is yes. It's definitely receiving more and more attention worldwide. But remember that the feminist movement, which is so active in the United States, has been a major force behind the move to avoid sexist language. It's a complicated issue, however, because the issues of gender in language change from one language to the next. For example, nouns don't have a gender in English, but there are two genders for nouns in Spanish, masculine and feminine, and German has three gender groups. Some nouns are masculine, others are feminine. And there's a third category which isn't masculine or feminine. SO each language has its own gender issues. We'll want to take a look at some newspapers and magazines to see how they avoid sexism in English. Well, we'll have to leave it there for today. Thank you.
