Abstract
The Theme of this article is on the reconstruction of the theory of social reform which G.H. Mead who was a American pragmatist, produced at the turn of the century. For Mead, the human society is one consisting of social control by institutions, and this control is made possible by the socialization of individuals to fit into a human society. The success of social reforms along with the evolution of institutions, then depends on how individuals in society are socialized. Mead's theory of social reform aims to respond to the demands for the gradual construction of a social theory on how to successfully socialize individuals in a human society, by also addressing itself to the deterrent role of institutions.
