In summary: Small scale sociology theory, Herbert Blumer's First tenant: 1) We act based on the meaning we have given something. 2)We give meaning to things based on our social interactions. The same thing can have a different meaning for different people. 3) The meaning we give something is not permanent and can change due to everyday life.3 Central ideas: Action depend on meaning, different people assign different meaning of things, and the meaning of something can change. Criticism: Doesn't ask the same questions as some large scale theories do. Restricted to studying small interactions between individuals. Capable of explaining how aspects of society can change as they are created and re-created by social interactions. It examined society on a small scale and gives the individual the same importance as society as a whole. It is a necessary view when studying a society.

This theory is so important in relationships. Understanding this has helped me to better make sense of when my husband and I have different views about the same thing.

I was so invested in the little cartoon people's story. During their conversation I thought, "This poor, "all trees are infested with ants" person. What a sad way to go through life, unable to experience the joy of lounging beneath beautiful trees just because you have some irrational fear of harmless ants. I'm so glad I'm like the tree=shade person. Then they got bit by the ants and my entire worldview was shattered.

Imagine it's the 1980s in the USA and I'd go out and call myself jokingly a Communist because I heard it's the most offensive and unjustifiable thing you could be, my mind now having this word primed in my memory as being very subjectively positive, in contrast to my outside world and society, and I feel like a true pioneer, being the first person to stand up to this authoritarian father-figure always telling it's kids what to be and not to be. The next day I wake up in Guantanamo Bay, and a CIA-Agent begins to torture me until I'm dead. Turns out he was a Vietnam veteran, and some Vietnamese communists brutally tortured and killed all his friends, having a completely different, subjective inner experience of the word "Communism" than I did, and through symbolic interactionism, believing me one of the men that killed his friends. When you think about it more deeply, this happens in one form or another every single day with every single conversation between two or more subjects, every subject has dozens of life-years of different experiences and brain connections, meaning even when we talk about Milk, everyone will have totally different feelings and imaginations about this object in their minds, so having an idea, but never fully grasping what the other is meaning when he says "milk." You may be a farmer and think of the warm milk you take from your cow every morning, while the city guy thinks of the bottle of milk he has in his fridge from the supermarket, so they have two totally different objects in their heads, and none of them knows it, and they just keep talking, imagining that the other has the same image in their heads as you do. This is kind of frightening, it would mean that you never actually fully understood anybody in your life, and nobody ever fully understood you. We learned to use words, their extended meaning, and our subjective experience with the objects or ideas these words represent, but everybody reading the word will have different emotions and memories about the word. This idea of Symbolic Interactionism is such an interesting concept.😄 And no matter how my philosophical, moral, and political views have changed during my life, I guess my instinctive appalment of collectivism, and always retaining the individual as the first importance of any Just society was correct.

[@Kaycee357]

[@dumbledoratheexplora1140]

What if saying "all trees are infested with ants" was actually a magic chant

[@realDarkPeterson]

Then all of sociology rapidly falls apart as social interactions become increasingly unpredictable and unstable, with the introduction of verbal incantations that can alter the very fabric of reality itself. Indeed, all of science would be under an existential threat, and our only hope to restore faith in reality would be to either purge magic, or to create the Sociological School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

[@libertyobw]

What if microsociology is more valid than macrosociology? I mean we live in a world where different people have different interactions with different objects/people. This creates different beiefs, values, etc. So then different people go out and interact with the world differently. This makes more sense with racism because I know I'm not racist but people will tell me I've been "socialized to be racist as a white person" and that "I'm just in denial". I think they have a false belief and that they're racists themselves.

[@heruartist71]

Sounds exactly like what a Racist would say.

[@erzan]

That was basically a version of "I am not racist BUT"
