Document Summary
Chapter 4: from social interaction to social organizations. Researchers show that men are more likely than women to engage in long monologues and interrupt when others are talking. They are also less likely to ask for help because doing so would imply a reduction in their authority. Social statuses are just one of the three building blocks that structure all social interaction. Social interaction - involves people communicating face to face or via computer, acting and reacting in relation to other people. It is structured around norms, roles, and status. Feminist sociologists are especially sensitive to gender differences in social interactions. They see gender often structures interaction patterns. Ie. laughter - people with higher status (male) get more laughs. Role - set of expected behaviours; when people occupy a status, they perform a role. Norm - generally accepted way of doing things.
