Symbolic
interactionism has always maintained an intimate stance towards the
everyday life world, and its concerns, and languages. (Kotarbo,
2014) As a young girl growing up in a mixed household, symbolic
function has sure affected me daily. Both sides of my family are
very diverse. Symbolic interaction allows us to understand contract
how the social order and social change are shaped.
Symbolic function has affected by my ethnicity in many ways.
On my paternal side, my father is 50% white and 50% Samoan. His
mother being full Samoan and his father being full white. My father
mainly grew up around his Samoan side of the
family. His
father came from a small family and wasnt into their culture that
much. His mother came from a huge family.

Symbolic
interactionism sees face-to-face interactionism as the mold of
everything in society in general. Through interactionism thats
when we create meaningful social reality. Some students will have
Spanish homework along with their English. I can only help them
English. Its a big disadvantage of not speaking Spanish. I
shouldnt blame my family members for not teaching me how to
speak/understand Spanish. I should change that and try to learn for
myself. Learning Spanish would be very beneficial to me in ways.
Symbolic interactionism has affected me through my gender.
Gender refers to the physical, behavioral, and personality traits
that a group considers to be normal, right, and good for its male
and female members. (Ferris and Stein, 2016) Gender roles can be
carried traditionally and personally. Women in my family are
traditionally socialized. Gender roles are taught from at a young
age and continue into adulthood. For example, my paternal
grandmother would always expect me to have a role to doing chores,
since I was a girl growing up. I would be expected to take over to
clean the dishes if she seen one of my brothers or dad doing
it.
