Document Summary
*** great short answer would be to explain interactionism through easy a . Views society as the product of everyday interactions: things in society don"t exist out side of our interactions, we create our social world. How people interpret and make sense of the social situations they are in. Sense of self is constructed through our interaction with other people. Self is not something that we take with us into social interactions - its something we constantly negotiate and constantly constructed through our social interactions. We learn what is deviant and criminal through interactionism. Nothing is deviant until people judge it to be deviant and then label it as such: no person or behaviour is inherently deviant - its the reaction to it. Considers the impact that the labels have on our understanding of the act and on the person who is labeled. Yet we might label it as related to a scary subculture etc.
