431 Words1 Page

1. The movie that I decided to analyze is Daddy’s Little Girls. Daddy’s Little Girls is a movie that shows the loving relationship between a dad and his daughter and all the things he goes through to take care of them and be the best father possible. I chose to use this movie to analyze because it displays a lot of emotion and family love. 2. The theory that I would use to analyze this story is Symbolic Interactionism. This theory focuses on how people interact with each other. According to the book, “For an interaction to occur, there must be at least two people who both act and respond to each other” (Strong, Cohen 47). Interactions can be made through either gestures, symbols, or words. 3. Although there are many examples of symbolic interactionism

  • What Are The Intersectionality Aspects In Jane The Virgin

    496 Words  | 1 Pages

    The film that I decided to watch for this assignment was the show Jane the Virgin. The film is about a working and religious young Latina virgin, who becomes pregnant after being unintentionally artificially impregnated. The program humorously mocks commonly used figures and plans in Latin telenovelas. The show has never shied away from getting into political topics, which is why it is one of the most advanced shows on TV right now. The intersectionality aspect in Jane the Virgin is how the show gives us a lesson about abortion, teen pregnancy, and the institutional racism that Latino people face.

The storyteller did not relate the story with intonation or pitch changes, nor did her rate change. It was more like the stating of facts she knew.]

    The aspect that I chose to explore is the relationship between the characters Sethe and Paul D. In the beginning of the novel, Sethe is surprised when an old friend, Paul D, stops by her house. She hasn’t seen him in decades, since she escaped from Sweet Home plantation. They were both slaves on the same plantation before her escape. Paul D shows up one day at random, and they begin talking. They have a small bit of small talk, with Paul D asking how Sethe’s been, but after that they begin to converse. They very quickly begin to discuss matters beyond small talk, from Baby Sugg’s death to Sethe’s dead baby, Beloved. They talk effortlessly, and Sethe doesn’t hesitate or seem to be uncomfortable at all.

  • Examples Of Symbolic Interactionism In Sociology

    995 Words  | 2 Pages

    Sociologists view society in different ways. Sociologists use three major theories: symbolic interactionism, functional analysis, and conflict theory. The symbolic interactionist perspective, also known as symbolic interactionism, directs sociologists to consider the symbols and details of everyday life, what these symbols mean, and how people interact with each other (Cliff). Some examples of symbolic interactionism are the meaning of marriage, the meaning of divorce, the meaning of parenthood, and the meaning of love. Symbols may include wedding bands, vows of life‐long commitment, a white bridal dress, a wedding cake, a Church ceremony, and flowers and music. American society attaches general meanings to these symbols, but individuals also maintain their own perceptions of what these and other symbols mean (Cliff). Symbols have a shared social meaning that is understood by all members of society. Symbolical interactionism is analyzed at a micro-sociological level. It examines small-scale patterns of social interaction. It focuses mainly on face-to-face interaction and how people use symbols to create a social life.

    I spent a lot of time considering what movie I would watch to write this essay. I listed off the movies that I would like to watch again, and then I decided on The Notebook. I didn’t really think I could write about adolescence or children, so I thought that, maybe, I could write about the elderly. The love story that The Notebook tells is truly amazing. I love watching this movie, although I cry every time I watch it.

  • Symbolic Interactionism And Dramaturgy, By George Herbert Mead And Erving Goffman

    1691 Words  | 4 Pages

    The sociology of everyday life focuses on studying people in their natural context, ie. the everyday social world. Social interactions is viewed as a fundamental aspect of understanding society and how social reality is constructed. The scrutiny of our social world in micro-sociology reveals that our everyday routines and social interactions produce an appearance of stability and continuity in our social life, when in fact, our social reality is profoundly fragile. This essay explores two different forms of sociological analysis, Symbolic Interactionism and Dramaturgy, through the arguments presented by George Herbert Mead and Erving Goffman respectively, and are both equally influential in their contributions to micro-sociology. Both sociologists
