What is the process by which a person learns to see the world through the eyes of another?

  1. Structural Functionalism

  2. Symbolic Interactionism

  3. Social Interactionism

  4. Role Taking

The correct answer is: Role Taking

Role taking is the process by which a person learns to see the world through the eyes of another. This involves putting oneself in someone else's position and understanding their perspective, thoughts, and emotions. The other options are incorrect because - Structural Functionalism focuses on how society maintains stability and order through shared values and norms. It does not address how individuals learn to see the world through others' eyes. - Symbolic Interactionism emphasizes the role of symbols and interactions in shaping an individual's perception and behavior. While this theory may touch on empathy and understanding others, it is not the direct process of learning to see through another's eyes. - Social Interactionism is a theory that explains how individuals create meaning through interactions with one another. It does not specifically address the concept of learning to see the world from others' perspectives.
