Answer 1

Interactionism is one of the four common theoretical perspectives of sociology.Interactionism is often considered as a theoretical perspective in which society is a product of the everyday social interactions among millions of people.Interactionism focuses on smaller-scale social interactions such as the interactions between individuals or small social groups.Interactionism examines how different social actors make sense of or interpret the behaviour of those around us.It can be used to understand the social construction of the world.

For Example,suppose i was driving along the road when a truck speeds by us going 20miles per hour over the speed limit.We would interpret that behaviour as being wrong and illegal since the car was breaking the speed limit.At the same time I heard the sound of a siren and saw that the truck was actually a red fire truck going to put out a fire.Then we would interpret this behaviour as acceptable given the fact that the fire truck has a good reason for breaking the speed limit.Interactionism is also concerned with the social context in which our interactions take place
