Interpret the sociological concept of reality as a social construct
Define roles and describe their places in people's daily interactions
Explain how individuals present themselves and perceive themselves in a social context
Give examples of symbolic interactions that can be interpreted differently in other cultures (examples language or
gestures)
People's behavior can be determined by their subjective construction of reality rather than by objective reality. For
example, a teenager who is repeatedly given a label-overachiever, player, bum-might live up to the term even
though it initially wasn't a part of his character - have you been ever given a lable or have you ever labled yourself -
explain why or why not.
