Let’s Reflect
1. Based on the lesson on symbolic – interactionist theory and the movie, The Little Prince, what
does this quote mean: “Words are a source of misunderstanding.” Any personal message? Write
it down.
When you want to say something that you feel you are thinking it is not always easy to
make it understood in the exact way you imagine it in your mind. Sometimes the words are not
representative of our thoughts, that is why often when we discuss and do not understand what
someone wants to express it is necessary to ask them to explain their thoughts by making
sentences and describing how their feelings express the situation. Not expressing oneself
correctly will lead to misunderstanding. Our words is so powerful it is the most human life what
m
er as
he speaks words can defile him as a human. So we must be careful of all the words that come
co
out of our mouth because it is written in the bible that it is not what we eat that defiles us as
eH w
human beings but, the words we speak.

Research on more school practices based on the functionalist theory, conflict theory, and
aC s
symbolic interaction theory. Write them on a whole sheet of paper to be passed in class.`

Functionalism - Social stability is necessary to have a strong society, and adequate socialization
ed d
and social integration are necessary to achieve social stability. Society’s social institutions
ar stu
perform important functions to help ensure social stability. Slow social change is desirable, but
rapid social change threatens social order. Functionalism is a macro theory.
is
Conflict theory - Society is characterized by pervasive inequality based on social class, gender,
Th
and other factors. Far-reaching social change is needed to reduce or eliminate social inequality
and to create an egalitarian society. Conflict theory is a macro theory.
sh
Symbolic interactionism - People construct their roles as they interact; they do not merely learn
the roles that society has set out for them. As this interaction occurs, individuals negotiate their
definitions of the situations in which they find themselves and socially construct the reality of

these situations. In so doing, they rely heavily on symbols such as words and gestures to reach a
shared understanding of their interaction. Symbolic interactionism is a micro theory.
