Social interaction is defined as the process by which
people act and react in relation to others. Social interaction starts as a
child. It’s good for a child
to interact with their peers at an early age. As a child if you don’t interact
with other children in your age group you won’t know how to play when you
finally start school. Socializing starts at home with your parents and family.
When playing with others it teaches you how to act and react to certain
things. Social interaction is a big part
of our everyday life without it no one would communicate with each other. Every
day we meet and talk to someone different. If you play on sport teams you
interact with many different people of different cultures and races.
Social interaction comes with roles and statuses. A
status is a certain position that a person holds. Such as a teacher, student, parent, ETC. There
are more than one status such as ascribed status, achieved status, and master
status. An ascribed status is something you’re born into. An example of that
would be Blue Ivy she was born into money and fame because of her parents she
didn’t have to work for it. Achieved status is something you had to work hard
and get. A nurse is considered an achieved status because he/she worked hard to
get where they are. A master status is a status that has special importance for
social identity, often shaping a person’s entire life. A Role is something
that’s expected of you because of your status. For example as a parent it’s
expected of you to teach your child discipline and to mold them into a
respectful person.
In
today’s society there are many ways that human’s interact with each other
besides in person. We have many social sites
where people interact with each other such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and
Etc. in my opinion people interact more than ever over social sites. Social
sites help you meet new people and help you get in touch with people you’ve
been looking for. Facebook is where you find you long lost family you haven’t
seen or just people you knew when you were younger. Some people argue that
social media has connected in new ways
Another
way we interact is through phone calls, text messages, Emailing, face time,
Oovoo, Skype, and Etc. Texting is a part of almost everybody everyday life.
That’s one of the best ways to get in touch with people now days. Emailing
plays a big part in social interaction for college students because that’s how
teachers expect to get in touch with you.
Many
people don’t like to interact with a person they don’t know; some don’t even
like to meet new people but that’s a
part of life. Social interaction is almost as important as breathing. No one
can make it in life without socializing with anybody else. In this world
everybody need somebody and that’s when social interaction kicks in.
