"Social image" is a way of interaction between the individual and the dominant group or between the individual and the community in which he or she tries to integrate. In the case of children, this interaction is even stronger because, according to Lev. S. Vygotsky, social interaction plays a fundamental role in their process of cognitive development: "every function in the child's... development appears twice: first, on the social level, and later, on the individual level; first between people (interpsychological), and then inside the child (intrapsychological)." (Vygotsky 1978, 57) "Identity implies family and cultural roots, but also self-acknowledgement through own social image and through the others' feedback. (...) The problems related to individual and cultural identity are in the center of the difficulties encountered by the immigrant adolescent, particularly by that who has lived in the country of immigration from a young age." (Marcelli 2003, 503-509) The interaction of the individual with the community must not be regarded unidirectionally, in the sense that it is only the community who influences the individual (although the individual's attitudes are determined both by the personal convictions and the interpersonal network of communications and contacts) (Liu and László 2007, 95). The participation or the presence of an individual in a community is influenced by the social status of the latter. In today's world, characterized by an increasing access to transnational opportunities, in the context of the multiplication of (and increased access to) models for achieving life goals, the replacement of a society which does not offer what the individual desires with another one, perceived as more advantageous, is a real and practical alternative option. The very survival of the weaker community is seriously put to the test (Șerban 2013).
