Mead believed that a baby is not born with any inborn predisposition to behave in any particular way, and instead learns behavior and attitudes through interaction with others and socialization. This idea supports the tabula rasa theory, which suggests that individuals are blank slates upon which experiences and learning are written. Mead argued that humans are not simply shaped by biology or instinct, but rather by social and cultural influences.
