This episode explores the impact of digital technology on social interaction through the lens of symbolic interactionism. As we increasingly interact with each other through digital means, we're forced to reexamine the ways in which we communicate and form relationships. Symbolic interactionism, a theoretical framework that emphasizes the role of symbols and language in shaping our interactions, offers valuable insights into this phenomenon. By examining the ways in which digital technology is reshaping social interaction, we can better understand the implications of these changes for our personal and professional relationships. This video provides an in-depth analysis of the intersection of digital technology and symbolic interactionism, and what it means for our understanding of social interaction in the digital age.
