Document Summary
Psychology is the clay, sociology is the potter, and life is the kiln. Philosophy on the other hand is the stoker. A situation is when two or more people are co-present and occupy the same space, time and location within a public realm using naked senses to have mutual surveillance. If mutual surveillance isn"t made then there is no situation. The co-presences share a common social conscious and situational perception. Situations are often cyclic in nature and begin when the 2nd person becomes co-present and ends when the 2nd last person leaves. Everyone who enters is part of the situation. Sociation refers to the mode or process of social interaction, the degree and type of interaction within a group. It is a decision that leads to an action - what is expected of me . These sociative decisions are built on information and as such leads to a sociative response that fits the situation.
