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.
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.
The answer to the discussion question should be in the form of a short essay. (introduction, body paragraph or two, conclusion).
