  1. SOCIAL INTERACTION AND SOCIAL STRUCTURE CALEB FEIGLES & MARISSA BONNELL

  2. THESIS • Ultimately, every different culture and/or society interacts differently due to their different social structures.

  3. MACROSOCIOLOGY • The analysis of social life focusing on broad features of social structure, such as social class and the relationships of groups to one another; an approach usually used by functionalist and conflict theorists.

  4. MICROSOCIOLOGY • Analysis of social life focusing on social interaction; an approach usually used by symbolic interactionists.

  5. SOCIAL STRUCTURE • People of different classes • Someone in the upper class, typically does not associate with someone in the lower class

  6. ITS ALL ABOUT STATUS • When people hear the word status, an associated word would be prestige. They are two words that go hand in hand when dealing with society. The significance of social statuses for understanding human behavior is that each status provides guidelines for how we are to act and feel.

  7. THE MEDIA • The media effects how we interact. They make society view different issues that corrupt people’s judgements. • Dramaturgy- an approach, pioneered by Erving Goffman, analyzing social life in terms of drama or the stage; also called dramaturgical analysis.

  8. DOMINO EFFECT • We don’t always realize it, but the way we interact effects the way other people interact. • If we act a certain way towards a person or a group of people, we may effect the way other people act towards that person or group.

  9. INTERVIEW • Anonymous • QUESTION: Do you feel that we as a society stereotype and therefore interact based on judgement? • “Yes I do. I am not going to be the one to deny that I don’t judge someone when I see them walking down the street if they look differently or walk funny. We are all guilty of it. Everyone acts differently around people who they feel are not normal. Then the question is, who is to say what is normal. What if we are the weird ones in a world where we are the ones who stick out like a sore thumb?

  10. VIDEOS • HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL • Stick to the Status Quo • MEAN GIRLS • Animal fight in the cafateria • REALITY TV • The Apprentice

  11. THE GAME • Everyone should have a sticker on their back. Each person has a partner with something that goes along with their sticker. You have to go around and talk to the people and ask questions to find out what is on your back and then try and find your partner.

  12. IN CONCLUSION • In conclusion, society interacts in many different ways. The people of our society are very stand-offish when not in his/her own group. • It is based on social structure. • The media effects our decisions
