#and symbolic interactionism

[popcorn-plots]

[iksydk]

hold on. children picturing like lord of the rings when adults say ‘custody battle’ and the imagery in revelation about armageddon. like taking evocative language literally.

[shamemp3]

i dont even know if i want to pursue sociology or anthropology in my masters...it will probably be anthro but i love socio...and even WITHIN anthro there's so many options i cant pick btwn like social justice & inequality, economy work & development, critical health studies/medical anthropology, linguistics & semiotic anthropology, and sociocultural anthropology

[transkholins]

my bookmarks are a disaster why is this mgsv playthrough bookmarked under readings for my major. i mean if you wanted to you could argue that playing mgs is roughly the same experience as reading about symbolic interactionism. but i'm not sure that i do

college is fun because sometimes you learn that Everything is a circle forever and ever. I'm reading a chapter on Symbolic Interactionism for my gaming class (yes you read that right I am studying for my Gaming Final) and there's these concepts of the I and Me and Generalized Other and it's just. Sigmund Freud's Id, Ego, and Superego rehashed.

I and Id: Base impulses, unpredictable, unorganized

Me and Ego: Conscious, objective, realistic

Generalized other and Superego: How you understand yourself through other people's eyes, evaluate behavior

I love this I love making connections to things I've learned about before, shout out to learning

Sociology Gone Wild: Theories So Bizarre They Might Actually Explain Everything

1. Phrenology: Measuring Morals One Bump at a Time Phrenology, once the life coach of 19th-century pseudoscience, was the belief that the shape of your skull could reveal everything about you—from your aptitude for needlework to your likelihood of becoming a highwayman. Franz Joseph Gall believed the brain was composed of “organs” controlling specific traits like benevolence, destructiveness,…

Saturday, 9 Nov

First snack of the day was this Turkish snack that a friend gave me recently (coconut + pistachio)

Cooking and watching Arcane season 2 episodes 1&2 while eating

I made udon with carrots, some pumpkin, onion, and garlic and put some chicken meat cutlet from the supermarket and fried it with egg, was delicious

Start writing Sociology report. Topic: modern sociological concept; I chose to write about symbolic interactionism

Enjoying some sweet potato (蜜芋) brioche horn (or cornet コロネ, I guess). Brioche was okay but not the best, bit dull, the sweet potato was too sweet and not natural, and the white whipped cream (ホイップ) was honestly the best. Still 3/5, all three parts combined were nice.

Some gaming in between to relax

Eating chocolate ice cream while continuing writing for a bit. It's nice, rich ice cream, 4/5.

Discovered Buck-Tick, due to my sister

[house-on-sand]

ive got an idea for a paper but no class to write it for and no real reason to write it but on god itd fuck to hard

[popcorn-plots]

can anyone give me examples of symbolic interactionism in the lorax movie? I'm dying, I don't understand the deeper meaning, I suck at analyzing aaahhha 😭

[bnesszai]

No. 24 for the ask game?

Hi Acid!!

24) if we were together on a rooftop, what would we be doing?

Well, i imagine we could spend a lot of time talking about sociology, our beloved. Then we could talk about books we wanna write, books we wanna read. And then silly things too like one piece. Stargazing/cloud watching with a cup of tea too!

It would be so much fun;_;

need to find a theory to close-read mrs. dalloway through the perspective of for my paper due tmrw... but suddenly i dont know a single theory in mind. In fact what is a theory

[ciswomenofficial]

To create a scientific theory that describes the functioning of misogyny and cissexism in a more accurate way, you need to select what is essential, what represents the core of the dynamics at play. The complexities of your self-identity and how it particularly reacts to and is shaped by the gendered social order, while it might be an interesting topic for other inquiry, is not essential for this particular research.

Do you have any thoughts on the "you can do anything you want forever" mentality re: gender/sexual identities? On one hand, I think I understand the draw of having that kind of perspective. "You can do you, and I will do me because it's none of my business" is a pretty attractive mentality, but I feel like a lot of people have started using it as an excuse to never critically examine these things anymore. It's proudly proclaiming "I don't care", and sure, I can't force you to care about things, but what really bothers me is when people say it in a way that implies caring about these things is very "online" or the only correct position is to not care at all. It feels very condescending.

i had a post about this exact thing but am too lazy to find it rn but this is a perfect example of how what is useful as a norm for day to day interpersonal interaction is completely different to what is useful as the basis for a theoretical framework innit

SPECIAL INTEREST ACTIVATED sorry OP

100% this. From the Mid-Atlantic/DC metro area here, and I lived in the Shenandoah region of VA during college too. Can therefore verify: No matter whether you envision RJ‘s accent as closer to what you’d hear in the Shenandoah region where Luray (irl)/Little Lamplight (in-game) is located, or whether you figure he has the more general accent common to the Mid-Atlantic/Baltimore-DC metropolitan area covered by FO3’s map, he’d stick out like a sore thumb in Boston. Just the differences in colloquialisms would do it, nevermind the accent difference.

Regarding DC metro area accents: we insert a lot of syllables where they don’t exist and slur them together where they do 😂 “Patapsco River,” a local waterway, is often pronounced “puh-TAPP-sic-coh” despite there being no letter “i” anywhere in the word. “Oil” can skew closer to “awl” if you’re on the MD side of the Potomac River. If you hear the phrase “downeeoschun” when you ask where someone is spending the Fourth of July, the speaker means to say they’re going to the beach (“down the ocean”). A lot of “t” or “s” sounds might get swallowed or softened to “l” or “d” sounds when someone is speaking quickly. (“Isn’t” to “idn,” etc.) In Fallout 3, the location Andale is a reference to the irl city of Annandale, VA - and indeed, many people here “swallow” the middle syllable, making it sound more like “An’n’dale” or “Andale” to begin with (I’ve always assumed that was the joke).

That said, this is a quick and very generalized overview (and admittedly skewed more towards MD accents). There is wide-ranging local difference between, say, accents in NOVA (northern VA) to the west & south of DC versus Baltimore, MD to the north.

Regarding Boston accents…they are VERY distinctive. Various NPCs in-game have them, though they’re not as prominent or prevalent as they could be. For context, @twosides--samecoin introduced me to the hilarious Late Night with Seth Myers skit regarding Boston Accents™️ and now is the time to share - it hits most of the stereotypes.

(Contrast what linguistics names a “Mid-Atlantic Accent” - which, in recent decades, seems to wholly fail at describing how people actually talk in the Mid-Atlantic, and instead more closely describes an accent historically common to persons a) from higher tax brackets than 95% of the surrounding population who b) all share a specific educational background, and who c) hail from PA and points north. The page linked above also covers the related accent historically common to members of Boston Brahmin families - also very distinctive but sharing some phonological characteristics with British English. No one really wants a Ted Talk on linguistics through the lens of the UltraRich’s attempts to use speech patterns to underscore class distinctions and separate themselves from the rest of us plebes, so I’ll stop before starting. But - the Cabots, both in-game and IRL, fall into this category. Charles Emerson Winchester from M*A*S*H, if you’re familiar, was also supposed to be from a Boston Brahmin family.)

Thanks for coming to my unsolicited TED talk

I presume MacCready has a different accent to most of the Fo4 characters, since he’s not from Boston.

When the Brotherhood arrive he’s really mad because they also have Capital accents and he does not want to be associated with them.

Admittedly, idk what a Boston or like DC accent sounds like 🤷
