Sociology

We viewed the symbols lecture scene from Da Vinci Code to provide examples of symbolic interactionism.  We then added to our note page of the 3 sociological perspectives the thesis statement (focus) for this class and defined "verstehen" and "cognitive dissonance."  Now, to transition into our next unit on "Culture," we will view "30 Days: Life on an Indian Reservation" while recording at least 2 examples of functionalism, 2 of conflict perspective, and at least 8 of symbolic interactionism -- to begin on Tuesday.
