George Herbert Mead’s theory on building identity. #philosophy #socialtheory

[0:00]Ever wonder how we form our identity? George Herbert Mead believed it's shaped by the way we interact with others! George Herbert Mead developed symbolic interactionism, which says that our self-identity is formed through social interaction and communication. He believed that we define ourselves based on how others see us and how we respond to them. Today, modern innovators like Gary Vaynerchuk use communication and social interaction to build personal brands, showing how our sense of self continues to be shaped by these exchanges.
