“The self is something which has a development; it is not initially there, at birth, but arises in the process of social experience and activity.”
Mind, Self, and Society
In Mind, Self, and Society, Mead provides distinctions on the “I”, the “Me”, and the “Other”. It can’t be said how important these concepts were to sociology. Our current understanding of society as an organism which negotiates “roles”, constructs “norms”, and communicates with “symbols” is spelled out in Mind, Self, and Society.
