Ourselves and Others: The Power of Social Ties
No. 81 JANUARY 2018
In a society that values individuality and competition, we do not always admit how much we need each other. And yet much of what we are, what we think and what we do is linked to our social relations, to the groups we belong to. What is the real importance of social ties in our lives? To what extent does what we are depend on who is around us? How can a group transform our behaviour? What consequences does social isolation have on our lives? Written from the perspective of social psychology, this book, in seeking to answer these questions, puts the idea of individuality into perspective and shows how much we owe to interaction with others.
