Abstract
Consistent with the Social Behaviorist’ theories of G.H. Mead and C.H. Cooley are Einstein’s Scientific Quantum Entanglement (QE) and Nagarajuna’s (Eastern Philosopher) concept s of Sunyata which emphasized the importance of society’s affirmation of nature. This effort will suggest that the Social Beha viorist mention ed above (Mead & Cooley) were profoundly influenced by the concepts of Nagarajuna and Einstein in creating the “Looking Glass Self” and the “Socia l Self ” both theories are both based in the need for society to observe, recognize, and understand the natural and socialphenomenon (Sunyata).
