Social Interaction
This lesson looks at how such aspects of social interaction as language, humor and emotion can shape and change the way we view the world around us. Nowhere is this interaction more visible than in the fusion of language and emotion which characterize the world of politics. But social interaction in the more mundane world of everyday life can be just as significant.
The Way We Live is a comprehensive introduction to Sociology in 22 half-hour episodes. Real-world examples in each episode, called Slice of Life, focus on real people and issues and foster a better understanding of the key sociological concepts. Explore the rich tapestry, diversity, and commonality of the human experience; learn to think critically about the challenging issues of our time; and develop a solid understanding of the groups, organizations, and societies which form the contexts for "the way we live."
