Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sociologist George Herbert Mead believed that people develop self-images through interactions with other people. He argued that the self, which is the part of a person’s personality consisting of self-awareness and self-image, is a product of social experience.

Detailed explanation-2: -Herbert Blumer came up with three basic principles for his theory. Meaning, Language, and Thought. These three principles lead to conclusions about the creation of a persons self and socialization into a larger community.

Detailed explanation-3: -I know I am hurt when I am cheated; I (i.e., ‘Me’ or my social self) get hurt because I have learned (from society) that when cheated, one must feel hurt. Thus-‘I’ is the self as subject; ‘Me’ is the self as object.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mead defines the “me” as “a conventional, habitual individual, ” and the “I” as the “novel reply” of the individual to the generalized other (Mind, Self and Society 197).
