Question

1. a sociology class is learning about the sense of self. one student says, people think i am quiet and smart. what sense of self is this student most likely referencing?

the i
the me
the internal
the external

Explanation:

In sociology, George Herbert Mead's theory of the self distinguishes between "the I" and "the me". "The me" represents the socialized aspect of the self, which is how an individual perceives others' attitudes and evaluations. When the student says "People think I am quiet and smart", they are referring to how they believe others (society) view them, which aligns with "the me". "The I" is the spontaneous, unsocialized part of the self. "The internal" and "the external" are not standard terms in Mead's self - theory in this context.

Answer:

the me
