    ACTIVITY 3 - PONDER ON MEAD’S THEORY

    PONDER ON MEAD’S THEORY!

    According to Mead, the development of the self goes through the following
    stages: imitation stage -> play stage -> games stage. Provide an example
    behavior for each stage based on your personal experience in the past of
    observing children. Then, explain the example behavior using Mead’s theory.

    1. Imitation Stage

    Example: I overheard children on the streets swearing.

    Explanation: Children are sponges, reflecting what they usually hear or


    exposed to, including inappropriate language.

    2. Play Stage

    Example: I saw a boy around the age of 6 wearing a costume and acting like
    Spider-Man - popular comic-book superhero.

    Explanation: The boy made an effort to appear and feel like a genuine
    superhero.

    3. Games Stage

    Example: I noticed group of kids in my neighborhood playing catching ball.

    Explanation: During the game, children developed self-awareness and


    learned to follow game rules while bearing in mind their roles in the game as
    well as their teammates.’
