Everyday life begins in individuals actions and thoughts. our thoughts come from what we create. We deal with multiple realities. the world we live in is comprised of multiple realities. Utile realities that we juggle and move between. Reality of everyday life is taken for granted. It is the dominant reality we deal with. It"s ordered and we are the ones who move through it. It is already structured and it structures us. We share our understandings of the objectification of the world with others. Interaction is the primary basis of everyday life. Face to face is the prototype of interaction. These interactions are based on schemes of typification. It is a continuum from face to face typifications to anonymous and generalized typifications.
