Thought: The Process of Taking the Role of the Other
Blumer's third premise, and the idea of minding can be found in Chapter 5 on page 62. This section basically discusses the idea of planning what one will choose to say next, as well as taking the role of others.
I feel minding is an extremely important concept that the American youth needs to take advantage of. We need to take those few seconds before we begin to speak to figure out what we're going to say. When much of the youth speaks it is filled with a great deal of filler words such as, "like," or "ummmmm." Its frustrating to listen to because one feels as though they are listening to someone who has no clue what they are talking about. In reality, people who say the word, "like" often as a filler may actually have some very important things to say; but if they sound so unintelligent while they try to express what important things they have to say, no one will listen.

What you're saying is kind of funny for me , because as non native speech acts are differents to me . And so sometimes I have the feeling I'm unable to express myself as I would do properly in French. Thus my way of using this word in this sentence and so on is totally modified. It makes you realize that learning a new language is not that difficult , the diffculty comes from your posession and the way you're going to use it ...
