So, this week's blog topic discusses how symbolic interactioanlism fits in the the criteria of sociology. By definition, symbolic interactionalsim is a study of communication between individuals, and between individuals and society, based on symbols and meanings, as in the use of language.
Symbolic Interactionalist believe that shared meanings are developed among a population as a result of interactions between people. So, a persn's values and ideals are greatly influenced by thier surroundings.
In my opinion, symbolic interactionalsim fits well into the sociology perspective. It accounts for significant analysis of roles, socialization, communication, and actions.
I agree. Symbolic interactionalism is obviously sociology.
