1. Explain the concept of symbolic interactionism, using either the three main contributions of George Herbert Mead, OR the three main contributions of Herbert Blumer. Provide your own analysis and interpretation of these specific contributions rather than relying solely on the textbook information. Remember, directions say not to include quotes from the book. DO NOT use both theorists. Just pick one. 2. You have been assigned a research paper where you must conduct an ethnography. Who will you study? What kinds of research questions will you ask? What steps will you take to gather information? What will you do with the data that you collect? How will you go about making sure that your study is an ethnography? (HINT: What is another name for ethnography?)
