Document Summary
Soc100 chapter 4 textbook notes from social interaction to social organizations. 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 statuses. Feminist sociologists see that gender often structures interaction patterns: ex. Laughing during conversation: if we define status as a recognized social position, it is generally true that people with higher status (men) get more laughs, whereas people with lower status (women) laugh more. Social statuses are one of the three building blocks that structure all social interactions. The others are roles and norms (people occupy roles) (a norm is a generally accepted way of doing things) **role strain occurs when incompatible role demands are placed on a person in a single status. **role conflict occurs when two or more statuses held at the same time place contradictory role demands on a person.
