interpretive answer for The Social Me

Hey nice answer, Galen. I chose "Are your social selves created by you or imposed by society?" (my answer's also short :)

I think that the answer is both. Depending on what group you’re with (for instance, people your own age or adults, friends or strangers) you will change your general attitude, sometimes even your personality to suit the situation. Society is the primary cause when you take on different social selves. But then you create those social selves based on what you think is appropriate for different groups within the society. So, your social selves are first imposed by society, but then created by you.
