Interactions and reactions define who you become because of people that don’t look at you from the inside, they inspect you from the outside. An example of this if you were goofy and weird at a game of baseball and someone thought you were cool and wanted to hang out with you. But, since you were weird that one person does not want to hang out with you because they think you are that weird. Another example is if you were stealing money from a lady or anybody else, anybody who knows you do that would call you a thief. But, in reality, you steal the money so you can pay the bills and get food. When people think of you by these things, people would not want to talk to you, hang out with you, want you in jail, etc. But, in reality, they don’t know the background of you.

One example of this is if your new friend was talking to someone and somehow got into an argument. He started to yell at the other person, you would think they are a rude, and mean guy. But, realistically he is kind and nice, but since you did not want to be his friend you did not know how nice he was. The last example is if you were doing a project with two friends and another person. You and your friends were working but were goofing around, but when the other person realized you and your friends were not fully working, he got very serious and started to yell at you. After the project, you did not want to work with him anymore. Sometimes people don’t like to work with someone just because of what first experiences they have had with people. This goes for everything that has to do with being with someone else. People need to take a second chance with people and what they are

However, various external factors influence an individual such as, positive and accepting environments an individual’s sense of belonging can enrich and expand, while negative behaviours such as exclusion and rejection might limit and restrict it; this in turn moulds one’s sense of acceptance and value of being. This idea is explored in the picture book, The Island by Armin Greder which analyses segregation and discrimination, and further alludes to the strong xenophobic culture and how such ideals can influence the experience of belonging.…

    This theory emphasizes daily exchanges between individuals so as to develop an understanding of basic human interactions via three core principles: meaning, language and thought. One’s identity of self is derived from how they perceive things, how they speak in relation to others and what is meaningful. Interpreting a situation, understanding verbal and nonverbal communication as to how it relates to one’s self and someone/thing else is the underlying concept of understanding this theory. The symbolic interaction approach looks at a situation from the point of view of an individual that is in the situation, and what the individuals think and how they communicate based on the society they live…
