Document Summary

The short video signs by patrick hughes is about a depressed office worker named jason. Jason dislikes his job, is very lonely, and does not have any friends or family that he can talk to. When he finally meets stacey through the window everything changes. He looks content going to work, rushes to get to work and finally starts showing some happy facial expressions. Signs can be related to the symbolic interactionism theory because jason chooses how to act based on how other people around him act. He is unaware of what facial expressions to express at the right times. For example, during the film all of his employees were laughing while sitting around a table and he only started to laugh because the people around him were laughing.
