Human beings are always referred to as social beings who depend on habit and character copy in their step-by-step developments in life. From birth, there are stages that they undergo to fit into society. The first stage of development is the preparatory stage; here, the child tries to mimic conduct without fundamentally understanding the meaning of the behaviour. The second stage is the play stage; it is the phase where the youngster takes one role at a time, the only problem is that in this stage the child cannot differentiate between his/her position as a child and that of the one he/she is trying to imitate.
The third stage is the game stage, which always comes after further social experiences, hence now the child can take a couple of roles concurrently in a single event since by these time the child understands things in many ways. After qualifying through all the first three stages, the fourth stage is where the child has acquired basic norms that can spearhead him through society. He/she can now act as a responsible individual ready to fit into the community and interact freely with others.
In summary, these stages are quite important; however, sometimes, they can be faced with severe challenges during progressive development. Therefore for proper management of interactionism, it is always important to embrace self-communication, self-perception and self-control this will enable one to distinguish right from evil characters easily. It is through the development of a person that one becomes a member of society, and the process of becoming a member of a community does not depend on blood relations; instead, it depends on the social experience gained during development.
