Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mead felt that the self has two parts, the “I” and the “me.” The “I” is the creative, spontaneous part of the self, while the “me” is the more passive part of the self stemming from the internalized expectations of the larger society.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to Mead’s theory, the self has two sides or phases: ‘me’ and ‘I. ‘ The ‘me’ is considered the socialized aspect of the individual. The ‘me’ represents learned behaviors, attitudes, and expectations of others and of society.

Detailed explanation-3: -The “I, ” on the other hand, represents the part of the self that acts on its own initiative or responds to the organized attitudes of others. It is the novel, spontaneous, unpredictable part of the self: the part of the self that embodies the possibility of change or undetermined action.

Detailed explanation-4: -George Herbert Mead suggested that the self develops through a three-stage role-taking process. These stages include the preparatory stage, play stage, and game stage.
