Mead’s Theory of the Social Self
Self Has 2 Parts : The I and The Me
o By taking the role of the other, we become self-aware.
o “I”- active side of the self that operates as subject , being active and
spontaneous; subjective (self-image)
o “Me”- the objective side of the self that operate as an object and is formed by
the way we imagined others see us; objective (self-awareness)
o All social experience has both components: we initiate the action (I) and then
continue it based on how others respond (me).
