Mind, Self and Society

Mind, Self and Society is a book based on George Herbert Mead's teachings in Sociology. This book is credited as the basis for the sociology theory of Symbolic Interactionism. It was published in 1934 by Mead's students after his death. This book is divided in four major parts: The point of view of Social Behaviorism, the Mind, the Self and the Society. George H. Mead shows a psychological analysis through the behavior.[1] The behavior is mostly developed through sociological experiences. These experiences lead to individual behaviors that make up the social factors that create the communications in society.[2] Communication can be described as the as comprehension of another individual's gestures. Mead explains that communication is a social act because it requires two or more people to interact.[3] He also explains that the self is a social process with communication between the "I", the pure form of self, and the "Me", the social form of self.[4]
