Material Detail

Hello! This 5-minute Introduction to Sociology video explains one of the three main sociological theoretical perspectives: symbolic interactionism theory. We explore the main ideas shared by symbolic interactionism sociologists about how verbal and non-verbal language is used to create meaning among people, influencing beliefs and identities. We reflect on how these ideas can help us think critically about our own lives 🌍

Reflection Questions 🤔 Feel free to post your thoughts in the comments ✏️ 1. How do the main ideas of the symbolic interactionism theory help you understand everyday life? 2. When meeting a person for the first time, what social cues help you form a story about them? 3. What might be a weakness of this theoretical perspective?
