The book explores the interplay between society's objective features and individual actions, focusing on how social conditioning is influenced by personal reflexivity. Through in-depth interviews, Margaret Archer introduces the concept of "internal conversations" as a key mechanism that shapes how individuals respond to societal influences. This analysis reveals how these internal dialogues affect social mobility patterns and determine whether individuals contribute to social stability or initiate change.
