Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that George Herbert Mead's theory of the self divides the self into two components: the 'I' and the 'Me'.
Recognize that the 'I' represents the spontaneous, impulsive, and creative aspect of the self, which acts without considering social expectations.
Know that the 'Me' represents the socialized aspect of the self, reflecting internalized societal norms and expectations.
Identify that the question asks which component is responsible for spontaneous, impulsive acts, which aligns with the characteristics of the 'I'.
Note that 'Id' is a concept from Freud's psychoanalytic theory and is not part of Mead's theory, so it is not the correct answer here.
