Making our Way through the World

More about the book

Exploring the concept of reflexivity, the book delves into how 'internal conversations'—encompassing language, emotions, and images—shape individuals' interactions with society. Margaret Archer emphasizes that these internal dialogues are increasingly influencing decision-making in late modernity, affecting career choices and responses to social structures. Through interviews, she illustrates how these reflections guide people's paths in life, revealing their attitudes toward opportunities and constraints, ultimately impacting their social mobility.
