The Importance Of Social Interaction In Society

Social support means that a person who get support and help from his/her family, friends and others people. It brings out the importance of relationships in human lives. Meadows (2007), identifies social support as beliefs and/or perceptions that indicate an individual is part of an interpersonal relationship that includes parents and peers. Davison et al, (2000) believe that social support talks about the person needs for support with close others and provide it when others experience distress. For example, Wayne fail in her examination in SPM and she is in depressed mood and unhappy. Without saying words, her friends will just give her a hug or placed their hand on Wayne shoulder for giving her a support. This is a non-verbal communication and interpersonal relationship between Wayne and her friends. Social support can be used in various medical situations, especially stress and other psychological problems faced by people today due to feeling of insecurity. A group of people such as family and peers can work together as a team to provide help and support for the unfortunate.

It also provides a social context to learning values as I learn and as I teach my children to socialize through childhood to adulthood. To teach them good values as to be considerate of others, try hard to succeed and to be a good student. Peer Groups, are the second main socialized agent in my life because without my friends I couldn’t have made through all the bearing times of my life. They have always been very influential in shaping my values and behaviors through he course of my life. Without family and friends I would be not the strong influential and successful person I am today with my social status for well being.

Social communication is relevant to every aspect of life, from school to home and even later in their work experiences, it can affect student’s relationships and make it difficult for them to understand the world

The role of school in society was to provide skills and knowledge to students as well as socialize them. Students are spending more time at school and being surrounded by members of their age groups. Thus, schools and peers were the two major elements in adolescent’s social life. A peer society developed as youth created their own culture and enforced peer pressure for American youth.

In their society, they can’t develop connections with people because they do not know how to interact with others. From a young age, the people in Montag’s society develop unhealthy relationship habits because of their parents. For example, Mrs. Bowles explains, “I plunk the children in school nine days out of ten. I put up with them when they come home three days a month; it’s not bad at all. You heave them into the ‘parlor’ and turn the switch. It’s like washing clothes; stuff laundry in and slam the lid,” (92-93). The parents in Montag’s society don’t show any love to their kids, which causes the kids to be distant. Those same kids grow up and have fake relationships, and they pass the same habits down to their kids. This is different from our society because we actually have bonds with people and we grow together. Also, many people in our society have close relationships with their parents. Our society inherits a sense of emotion from our parents, which allows us to have meaningful bonds with other people. Since the kids in Montag’s society do not even interact with their own parents, they do not interact with people at school. Clarisse explains, “...Being with people is nice. But I don’t think it’s social to get a bunch of people together and not let them talk, do you?” (27). When Mrs. Bowles sends her kids to school all of the time they do not interact. They sit in a room for multiple hours at a time where they are given answers. Kids in Montag’s society do not work with others to get answers. In Montag’s society, youth are deprived of their basic communication skills when they cannot interact with others. In our society, we interact with others, especially during school. In our society, kids are taught communication skills and what it is like to work with others. Our society depends on interaction and developing relationships,

In modern societies like ours comes’ unrealistic normality, for example, everyone is expected to conform to the same set of rules. This causes adolescents to form groups because they provide individuals with an identity in the eyes of their peers. The peers that they surround themselves with are usually similar in age, race, social class, and sex. In schools with mixed ethnic groups, crowds tend to form based first on ethnicity, and then on other attributes such as participation in athletics, use of drugs, and having a focus on academics. Their attitude with school- importance of grades and partaking in school activities; teen culture- music, how they dress, activities, drug use; and involvement with antisocial events- criminal activity and aggressiveness, more than often resemble that of the majority of the group. Adolescents become friends both because of prior similarities and because they become like each other the more they interact (selection and socialization). Teenagers just find people who are like them. This normality could be considered good or bad. “For example, alcohol users ‘find each other’ and influence each other to drink. Likewise, depressed teens tend to associate with others who have depressive tendencies, and their depression is collectively worsened.” (2nd) But this isn’t always true; because of the gap in today’s society, teenagers learn coping

As children enter adolescence, cultural, biological and cognitive changes cause variation in their daily lives. Adolescents spend far less time with their parents and begin participating in both structured and unstructured peer activities.Without the direct presence of their parents or other adults, their peer network begins to become the primary context for most socialization and activity. These social "cliques" fundamentally influence adolescent life and development.Perhaps because they are perceived as an external threat to parental authority, undesired changes in adolescent behavior are often attributed to cliques.In these situations, cliques are described as "social grouping[s] of persons that exhibit a great deal of peer pressure on its members and is exclusive, based on superficial differences".Researchers, however, question these assumptions: based on empiric data from both experiments and ethnographies they suggest that clique structure characterizes many friendship networks within any given school, not all of which negatively affect adolescents.A more neutral and scientific definition of clique is "a grouping of persons who interact with each other more regularly and intensely than others in the same setting."

We know that a public realm is an important factor when developing social bonds, but what exactly is a public realm? A basic google search of the definition of public realm resulted in this definition; “any publicly owned streets, pathways, right of ways, parks, publicly accessible open spaces and any public and civic building and facilities.” Lyn Lofland focuses on the benefits of a public realm, by listing six functions performed within the public realm. Those functions being: 1.) An environment of learning, 2.) A place to enjoy respites and refreshments, 3.) A communication center, 4.) A place that allows the practice of politics, 5.) The enactment of social arrangements/social conflicts, and 6.) The creation of cosmopolitans. Through discussion of these functions, we should be able to better understand the public realm and its social values.

Social structures and cultures are founded upon social interactions. By interacting with one another, people design rules, institutions and systems within which they seek to live. Symbols are used to communicate the expectations of a given society to those new to it, either children or outsiders. Through this broad schema of social development, one sees how social interaction lies at its core.

interactions there are a great stage of peer pressure. These results were compared to the 10% that

When the child is at the ages of seven to eight years of age this is where they are expected to be socially developed. They should be able to wash themselves, dress themselves, independently go to the toilet and should also be able to make informed choices on who their friendship with and should have already bonded with their friends. As a child grows they develop and understanding for the world around them. They understand how to socialise effectively with the people around them. They also understand the emotional wellbeing of others and are aware of it and due to this it enables them to create and also hold a rapport with other individuals.

A concept according to Blumer, Social interactionism describes that “in the process of interaction between people… in the process of communication.” (Blumer 1986) Which helps with sociological interaction in a better way to understand for this particular episode.

The unlimited ways in which society affects the way we think influences how we act. This can differ from the way we grow the morals are parents impose on us. Shaping how limited and how easily influence we are on what other people say to us. “Alone at last” is based on society and the induvial conflicts that each character is influenced by.

After a long day of school and after school activities, I march in the house and upstairs to my room. As I come within reach of my door handle, I glance into my sisters’ room and see her sitting in her accent chair near her bed with a magazine in her hand glancing through the pages. You can basically call my sister the magazine queen because she can sit, unbothered and read them for hours at a time. She says to me “Hey Sis, when I’m done reading this magazine you should read it to catch up on what’s going on in our social world and the new trends”. I replied “sure let me know when you are done and I will read it”. My sister is an example of what a critically literate citizen is in the 21st century. Critical literacy encourages people to

A family is the most important part of being social and in this essay I will demonstrate how this is an important socialization agent. Families have changed over the course of years from traditional to nontraditional and with this people have suffered due to this change. During this chapter I have learned how important it is to focus on the primary structure of family. Family shows how important it is to work hard and achieve goals that are dignified in today’s society. So during this paper I will try to demonstrate some of these important techniques.
