Document Summary
Most societies don"t have a concept of this. The mark by goffman, chilling someone you pissed off/ripped off. Rudeness as a symptom of greater issue. Single unit in single collective/any kind of human collective. We have a folk concept of individuality. Individuality within the word means: means not possible to be divided. Lots of ways to represent the individual, as depending on language used different reflections are formed. Actors, interactants, agents (acts in place of/behalf), person, subjects (the doer and also done to, controlled by parents e. g. ) Ideas of individual fairly new idea, cultural context, ppl in past weren"t as aware and started to look into this (romantic period/ age of enlightenment) Anonymity: (anonymous) creating freedom and fear - lack of outstanding, individual, or unusual features; impersonality. Group of ppl, collection of individuals, shared norms/culture society & economy said to be based on each other. We then lose a lot about situation, more too individual behavior.
