It tries to understand how people create &amp; interpret the situations they experience, &amp; is emphasized how countless instances of social interaction produce the larger structure of society-government, the economy &amp; other social interactions.<\/li>\n<li>This perspective presumes that it is only through this social behavior of the people that society can come into being.<\/li>\n<li>Society is ultimately created maintained &amp; changed by the social interaction of its members.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Key Figures<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Erving Goffman (1959)<\/strong> for example takes a &#8220;dramaturgical&#8221; approach to social interaction. He sees social life as a form of theatre in which people play different parts\/roles and &#8220;stage-manage&#8221; their lives &amp; the impression they create on others.<\/li>\n<li><strong>George Homans (1961)<\/strong> prefers to have an &#8220;exchange&#8221; approach. He stresses the way people control one another&#8217;s behavior by exchanging various forms of rewards and punishment for approved and disapproved behavior.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Harold Gasfinkel (1967)\u00a0<\/strong>adopts what he calls an &#8220;ethnomethodological&#8221; approach. This is only an attempt to find out how people themselves understand the routines of daily life. This approach focuses on how people&#8217;s views describe and explain the shared meaning underlying everyday social life and social routines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blumer and his symbolic interaction (1969)<\/strong> <strong>&#8211;<\/strong> Blumer was highly influenced by <strong>G.H. Mead<\/strong>. Descriptions of symbolic interaction are given below:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>Symbolic interaction is the interaction that takes place between people through symbols-such as a sign, gestures, shared rules, and most important written and spoken language.<\/li>\n<li>For example, Symbolic interaction is taking place between the author of the book and the readers who read the book.<\/li>\n<li>Interaction occurs whenever we obey (or disobey) traffic signals, or a &#8220;stick no bills&#8221; notice.<\/li>\n<li>The important point is that people don&#8217;t respond to that meaning. For example, the words of the book, the red light of a traffic signal have no meaning to these things and they order their lives on the basis of these meanings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Criticism<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Neglects larger social institutions<\/li>\n<li>Symbols and abstract which are changeable over a period of time.<\/li>\n<li>Neglecting scientific approach and over-emphasis on interpreting the action.<\/li>\n<li>Behavioral patterns are changeable that might not be able to generalize(C.N. Shankar Rao).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You may also like: <a href=\"https:\/\/bcisnotes.com\/thirdsemester\/fundamentals-of-sociology\/conflict-perspective-theoretical-perspective-in-sociology\/\">Conflict
