Discuss the difference between the I and the me and the relationship between the two, as theorized by George Herbert Mead.
What will be an ideal response?
I: According to George Herbert Mead, it is the part of the self that refers to the impulse to act; it is creative, innovative, unthinking, and largely unpredictable. Me: According to George Herbert Mead, it is the part of the self through which we see ourselves as others see us. The tension between them: the me is often capable of controlling the i. When the I initiates a spontaneous act, the me raises society's response: How will others regard me if I act this way?
