Social interaction is how people relate to one another and how a person can have an affect on another person's behavior-and sociological imagination is how you can make the connection between our personal lives and the world-
ReplyDeleteAn example of social interaction for me would be if I was invited to a Jewish birthday party-I would have to act according to how they celebrate their birthday's and not compare how me and my family celebrate birthday's-
An example of sociological imagination would be I know that I may like to eat ham-but I am going to my another country where eating pork is forbidden -so therefore I will reframe from eating any pork while I am visiting this country-as it is offensive to the culture. Although in both situations you still maintain who you are but to me its a manner of respect-if you can learn to accept people no matter how different they maybe than the world would and could be a better place.
Social interaction is how people two,three, or more individuals relate to one another or how these individuals influence one another. An example of this would be if a group of friends go out to the beach and they start to make fun of one of there friends for not wanting to drink, resulting in that individual to drink so he/she is apart of the group and cool. This results from peer pressure and this is what makes people either fall for it and do it to feel good, or do what they know is right and not do it.
ReplyDeleteSociological imagination is the way society as a whole affects us as people. Example of this could be the type of music you listen to, the foods you eat, or the movies you watch. Even the clothes you wear are because of the way society affects us all as people or individuals in a community
