George Herbert Mead Commentary
Many people never stop to contemplate the reason they act they way they do. ... That is, until I read and understood what George Herbert Mead had to say about his theories on the self.
Mead first discusses the differences of the body and the self. ... This also proves that by Mead’s opinion, the self can be viewed as radically social.
However, this is not all Mead is trying to relay through his essay. ... In expressing this theory, Mead tries to show the reader how the self as a subject is the actor, or is active. ...
In addition to Mead’s arguments above, one of his final arguments is of individual distinctiveness being a result of social experience. ... It also can be argued by Mead’s example of putting one in confinement, but still seeing the self acting as if he has companions present.
