Bitesize Sociology #6 | The Symbolic Interactionist Perspective

Unlike the Functionalist and the Conflict Perspective that views society from the macro-perspective, the Symbolic Interactionism Perspective views the society from the micro-level. It sees the society as a product of everyday interactions of people doing things together. People communicate through symbols and they respond to each other based on their subjective interpretation of these symbols.

As a sociologist, I think it's better to use SI together with another theory, Since the symbolic interaction alone is vague.

[@joejones5290]

I personally like and rate highly the symbolic interactionist perspective. I'm aware though it has its critics. Some say the SI perspective fails to look at structures of power in society. Others say it fails to look at the effect of socialisation upon individuals. It gives an impression of total freedom within social interactions which may not be entirely true. People come up against social obstacles in their interactions. Sooner of later, we come up against structures, culture, social norms and values, and these are difficult to ignore without incurring others' negative reactions, and the possibilities of negative sanctions.
