The concept of role theory
Some interesting arguments from one essay, I just read it, about Role Set, and hope to share with the fellows.
Any individuals in some situations occupied a role in relation to other people.
Some peple in the middle of a group of people are given the name of focal people.For instance, one family, the husband will be regarded as focal peple. the other people with whom children, children's teacher, wife, wife's parents interacted, will be called his Role Set.
Individuls often find hard to escape from the role that the cultural tranditions have defined them. Taking all things into consideration, if you are in that role for long it eventually becomes part of your life, part of your pesonality.
