Goffman's dramaturgical theory draws on symbolic interactionism to argue that human beings are symbol users who cooperatively construct shared meanings, and continually struggle to display idealized self-images to valued others. Coleman's rational choice theory draws on neoclassical economics to argue that human beings are rational individuals who seek to maximize personal interest and gain. These two theories hold very different assumptions about human nature. Discuss these different assumptions and the implications that these differences have for the way that we understand each other, and treat each other in everyday life. Which of these two theories best reflects their own experience and assumptions about human nature?
