The Mind, Self, and Society

*The Mind, Self, and Society*, by George Herbert Mead, explores how our sense of self and consciousness develop through social interactions. It explains that our mind is shaped by the ways we communicate and interpret others’ responses, which in turn build our self-awareness. The "self" emerges from social experiences, balancing our own perceptions with how others see us. Mead emphasizes that society and social interactions are fundamental in forming our thoughts and identity, making us active participants in shaping our own understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
