Purpose


The purpose of this assignment is go a bit further into one aspect of symbolic interactionism and see how it functions in another society. Ideally, you will then also see the parallels in your own society.


Task


Choose a symbol from one of the cultures in Global Sociology based on the reading we have done to this point. I chose Japan culture. Describe how the symbol operates in that culture. That is, what is being communicated and/or reinforced? As you do this, explain how/why this fits into the theory of symbolic interactionism. Remember to explain how the example fits the theory of symbolic interactionism.
