+====== William James' Theory of the Self ======

+)], developed by James, divides an individual's mental self-conception into two primary categories: the "Me" and the "I"((William James's Theory of Self postulates that the self comprises two parts: the 'I' and the 'Me.')). The "I" represents the thinking self that James associated with consciousness and the mind, which he considered indivisible((The 'I' is the self that thinks, acts, and has experienced (the subjective self), while the 'Me' is the self as an object of knowledge, including the sum of a person's thoughts, feelings, social roles, and recognition from others (the objective self).)).
+===== Components of the Me =====
+James subdivided the "Me" aspect into three distinct components((Although the "I" self cannot be further divided, the "Me" can be further broken down into three sub-categories: a material, social, and spiritual self.)):
+==== Material Self ====
+The material self encompasses physical possessions and attributes that a person considers their own, including:
+Physical body
+Personal possessions
+Family connections
+Living space
+Clothing choices and personal style
+((The material self consists of what belongs to a person, such as the body, family, clothes, or money.))
+==== Social Self ====
+The social self relates to how others recognize and perceive an individual. James noted that people maintain multiple social selves, adapting their presentation based on different social contexts and relationships((The social self: This is how you present yourself to others, your various social roles and identities.)).
+==== Spiritual Self ====
+The spiritual self represents an individual's inner being and subjective experience, forming the core of personal identity((Spiritual Self: This encompasses your inner beliefs, values, and moral principles.)).
