question
Explain the "I" and "me" in role-making.
answer
The "I" is the unsocialized, spontaneous, self-interested component of personality and self-identity. The "me," on the other hand, is the part of ourselves that is aware of the expectations and attitudes of society—the socialized self. During childhood, the "I" component is dominant. However, through the process of socialization, the "me" gains power by acting together with the "I," which in turn brings the "I" in line with expectations of society. Therefore, to develop as a well-rounded member of society, a person needs both aspects of the self.
