Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Sociologist George Mead believed there are three stages to the development of self: Preparatory stage. Play stage. Game stage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mead’s (1934) main emphasis was on children’s playing, which he saw as central to their understanding of how people should interact. When they play, Mead said, children take the role of the other. This means they pretend to be other people in their play and in so doing learn what these other people expect of them.

Detailed explanation-5: -The “Me” is what is learned in interaction with others and (more generally) with the environment: other people’s attitudes, once internalized in the self, constitute the Me. This includes both knowledge about that environment (including society), but also about who the person is: their sense of self.
