George Herbert Mead argued that the self develops through interactions with others. Do you think that your personality or self-developed through your interactions with others (parents, friends, teachers) or was it something that you were born with? Give an example from your life to support your view.

I believe that my personality and self have developed through my interactions with others. For example, growing up, my parents taught me the importance of hard work and dedication. This has had a lasting impact on my life, as I strive to work hard and be dedicated in all aspects of my life. Additionally, my friends have taught me the importance of being kind and compassionate, which has shaped my outlook on life and how I interact with others. Finally, my teachers have taught me the importance of critical thinking and problem solving, which has helped me to become a better learner and thinker. All of these interactions have helped to shape my personality and self.
