WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS!?

I was taught in my COMA101 class that communication is a continuing systematic process that uses symbols which has meanings. So every time we talk with people, different symbols are transmitted and different meanings are created.

Symbolic Interactionism was developed by George Herbert Mead. His was fascinated how humans use symbols and he wanted to know more. Symbolic Interactionism has talked about its core concepts, namely:

Meaning. Every action has it’s intention and every word has it’s meaning. Meanings however we’re no “in born”. It is develop as we interact and mingle with the people around us. In example, the object chair. You’d never know that’s a chair if your parents didn’t tell you that. You’d hear them say, “SIT ON THE CHAIR”. Then as you grow old, the one you’re sitting on is a chair. Not a table. But if no one taught that is chair, you might call it Television or whatever you prefer to call i

Language. I can still remember the first time I entered Prep-School. I was so excited! I had new shoes, bag, uniform, school supplies and new things to learn. As the schooldays passed by, I learned new words. I EVEN LEARNED BAD ONES. I also learned that an apple is an apple and red is to color red. As I interact with them, doors of knowledge start to open and waiting to be explored.

Minding. Our mind is the control center of our body. It’s where all the little switches and people work to make our body function. The mind also interprets everything we see, touch, smell, taste and hear. We interpret what we is transmitted to us.

This theory also talked about the “The Self”; the me and I. as I can remember the “I” is how you see yourself. You’re characteristic and so on. The “me”, on the other hand, is how the others see you. We figure this things out when we interact with the society and people we’re in.

and that's how it ended.
he never IM'd me again nor added me in his FS.
he was the first on I met in that room.
other were just plain nasty, so I didn't bother entertaining them.
i even had a lesboo chatmate.
but i choose adamgarrido because he presented himself as a man with a good head on his shoulders! :D
