[Ritual] is a primum that can not be perceived outside the contexts of daily situations of the real life”, therefore we are able to observe it inside the “fundamental behaviors” of people “within the obvious facts of their life”. According to this theologian, the fact that ritual belong to the world of obviousness, makes very difficult any reading of it.

When it comes to the topic of sacred rituals, my perception of this topic discussed in the chapter five of our text prior to taking this course was I knew that this was simply what takes place in religion in terms of activities, the things people preform all the time for specific reasons. These would be activities that are connected to an important date such as a religious holiday or a time frame of the day such as no eating after 6pm or simply a certain place such as a temple or church that requires particular actions to be performed all the time in this location. Rituals are in our daily lives as well, as we do things for specific reasons all the time, for instance when I wake up every morning before I do anything else I grab a water bottle

Everyday individuals wake up and go about activities that are geared toward the accomplishment goals. The drive to achieve these goals is guided by a motivation that hopes for a certain outcome; ultimately the outcome hoped for goes beyond the completion of the task and strives either to attain some form of satisfaction or comfort or to remove some form of dissatisfaction or discomfort. On a basic level, waking up from a slumber that lasted several hours and feeding ourselves serves to sustain life and possibly alleviate the physical discomfort of hunger. Beyond a task needed for basic survival there continues to be a desire to achieve. This desire serves to attain a sense of self and a sense of belonging and ultimately involves interactions with others. This paper will evolve from a brief discussion about the symbolic interactionist perspective to a brief review of the interaction chain ritual theory.
