First sentence: The development and presentation of the social self is a central problem for the discipline of socioligy, that is, 'those aspects of the personal life of each individual which have been created through social participation, which shape the way in which we come to experience the world and which contribute to a consciousness of being a member of society' (Lee and Newby 1989: 309).
