Social Comparison

One of the ways that we create our self concept is "social comparison:" we compare ourselves to others to figure out who we are.A student in my evening class asked, "Of course you know Jim Hawes? And I said yes, and this student commented that we have a similar style in the classroom -- chillaxed. Hmmmm. I'm still processing that comment.

Enjoying your daily blog, Kake, but is there anyway you can set up Blogger to allow for anyone to comment and not just those with blogger or openid accounts?

I am posting this response from Jim Hawes who can't post a comment without an account:

"I am proud that a student compares us. I have always thought of you as a mentor."
