Document Summary
Face to face- pro type case of interaction. With people i know well (inner circle) People i never really meet but interact over a distance. Our responses are typical. we adjust typification through interaction they can be anonymous when referring to others. The people we interact with regularly and within our inner circle, we can create rituals, they are important to us. We go beyond and go deeper in understanding each other beyond typical responses. We tend to respond to people as social beings. Abstract responses can then lead to something more important. Social reality of everyday life is in a continuum of patterns of interaction. Social strucuture is an essential element of reality life. Social structure is the sum of typifications and through recurrent patterns of interactions. Interactions can become predictable because of typical responses. Interaction becomes central basis for the mergence of a complex world. There is one particular objectifying process that is more important than others- language.
