Making Our Way Through the World

Exploring the concept of reflexivity, the book delves into how individuals engage in 'internal conversations' that shape their perceptions of self and society. Margaret Archer highlights the significance of these dialogues in influencing life choices, career paths, and responses to social structures. Through interviews, she illustrates how this inner dialogue increasingly guides decision-making in late modernity, impacting social mobility and the ways people navigate their environments. The work emphasizes the interplay between personal concerns and broader social contexts.
