Awareness of roles presupposes unity

the fact that the person acts and is treated differently depending on the social situation doesn’t threaten the fundamental unity which underlies those diverse roles. It could be argued that without an awareness of the different roles we play, we would be unable to fulfil them properly. Although a lot of the adjustments we make to our behaviour in different contexts are unconscious, it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to make all the changes needed unless you, and others, had a sense that you had changed
