Document Summary
Chapter 4 feminist theory and social interaction. Social interaction: people communicating face-to-face or via computer + acting and reacting to one another. Note: emotional management (everyone does in daily life) vs. labour (payed to do) Sociological question: what is nature of cement that holds building blocks of social life: how is social interaction maintained, how social structures/society function as a whole, what hold norms/roles/statuses to prevent falling apart. Interpret people"s words/non-verbal to understand how people see us: we adjust behavior to fit expectations about how we should behave, people learn norms/roles/statuses actively during interaction (experience-based) Way people manage the impressions they give to others during social interaction. Internet + telephone aid in creating network today: example: emotional aid ties, financial support ties etc. Class: creates weaker emotional ties, extends over shorter time period, involves narrow range activity, formal organizations: secondary groups designed to achieve explicit objective, example: bureaucracies. Note: previously mentioned it is the most efficient secondary group structure.
