Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pedagogical Seminary, Vol. 28: A Quarterly International Record of Educational Literature Institutions and Progress One of the first things which strikes the observer of children and adults alike is what seems a universal tendency to do as others do, to imitate. Everywhere may be seen examples of action apparently done not because the individual has himself decided that such an action fits the particular situation but because such and such another individual is performing or has performed the same action. The sheep which turns aside in the road will, if the man or dog in charge is not alert, take with it half the flock before it can be turned back. The boy coming home from school who throws a stone at a cat will be joined by the rest of the boys who are passing. The lady who goes into a store, enquires anxiously what "is being worn" and, however her heart is set upon a garment of a particular kind, she will instantly reject it if it be "out of fashion." If the members of my "set" wear their trousers turned up, mine are turned up. If they wear them down, mine are turned down. If they eat asparagus with their fingers, I eat mine with my fingers; if with a fork, I do the same. If they rise when the Governor of the State begins a speech, I rise, even though I am ignorant of the custom. And, almost automatically, I sit when they sit. It is almost platitudinous to say that imitation plays a most profound part in our relations with our fellow men, and is responsible in a very large degree for the difference between the hermit and the member of a state. Other factors undoubtedly enter in, but it is certain that not a small part of the effect of our fellow men upon us is due to the fact that they serve as copies for our own actions.
