Charles Horton Cooley

Explanation:

Cooley was influenced by Darwinism and Pragmatism and Weber's law. But Cooley was different from Weber's Law. Cooley's most contribution was in looking glass self. looking glass self-focused on self-relation, but it doesn't focus on self-relation but includes others too. Cooley denotes that an individual is a part of society, but it was only the distributive and collective aspects of the same thing Cooley possess that its a human being quality to interact with other people who are around them. From the beginning of history, the self is the center of common grounds. Cooley harmonized self-feeling and social feeling on the common ground because both are sides of the same phenomena.
