A
final piece of Mead's social theory is the mind as the individual importation
of the social process. Mead states, "The self is a social process,"
meaning that there are series of actions that go on in the mind to help
formulate one's complete self. As previously discussed, Mead presented the self
and the mind in terms of a social process. As gestures are taken in by the
individual organism, the individual organism also takes in the collective
attitudes of others, in the form of gestures, and reacts accordingly with other
organized attitudes. This process is characterized by Mead as the "I"
and the "Me". The "Me" is the social self and the
"I" is the response to the "Me." In other words, the
"I" is the response of an individual to the attitudes of others,
while the "me" is the organized set of attitudes of others which an
individual assumes.
In the past, media has close
relationship with transportation. In the spoken languages era information was
delivered by man, and it was up to one’s memory. Also, after the writing
language developed and information was delivered through records, still they
were carried by human so transportation had taken a big portion of spreading of
information. Later, the Gutenberg’s print was invented so the printed
information could be spread all over the world. In the industrial
revolution era, the mobility increased a lot, so the speed of spreading
information increased a lot. And development of communication such as radio
allow the disconnection of close relationship with transportation and media.
Mass media such as newspaper, radio, television was produced through extremely
limited, there was a monopoly in the information. However, social media which connect
people to people appeared and it affects a lot to a society. Information
monopoly become hard now. People can be connected all around world on the
chair.
People can access information very
easy way compared with past. There are positive aspect such as spreading of human
beneficial knowledges such as medical science, alarm for the natural disaster. However,
there’re negative aspect such as cyber bullying which causes suicide, miss spreading
of information(distortion). We have to inspect the information that we see everyday
is reliable or not, also the aspect and knowledge we have already.
