The third stage of Mead’s theory would be (the I and the Me) Mead called the subjective side of the self the “I” that is how I see myself in an environment. I…

life. For most children, a birthday party is exciting for a few key reasons: presents, friends, and cake. Though these things are exciting, the reason for celebration is much more. A birthday party is a celebration of another year of growth and development. It is a celebration of milestones that have been accomplished and encouragement for those milestones to come.
