Last term we spent the last seven sessions on the language and grammar of social order and social organization. *ask members of the class to name some of the language. The main concepts: context, social actors as meaning makers, social action as oriented, the social self, social institutions, Other important concepts we collected along the way: social interaction, inter-subjective reality, shared understandings, tacit knowledge, the-world-taken-for-granted etc. *context can refer to temporal-historical, geographical, physical, economic, political, cultural and social features in which a given social order merges. Polynesia, versus recreational beaches in california, versus globalism. *social actors are interpreters of the world they inhabit.
