Editing Generalized other (section)

==Multiple generalized others==

Arguably,  a modern differentiated society contains as many generalized others as there are social groupings:<ref>F. C. da Silva, ''G. H. Mead'' (2007) p. 50</ref> as Mead put it, "every individual member of any given human society, of course, belongs to a large number of such different functional groups".<ref>Mead, p. 322</ref> The result is that everybody will articulate aspects of the range of socio-cultural values in their own way, taking on the perspectives of a set of generalized others in a unique synthesis.<ref>da Silva, pp. 50–1</ref>

With rising levels of socialisation and [[individuation]], more and more people, and more and more aspects of the self come into play in the dialectic of self and generalized other.<ref>Johannes Voelz, ''Transcendental Resistance'' (2010) p. 131</ref>
