Muslim Rage Over Movie
“We never insult any prophet — not Moses, not Jesus — so why can’t we demand that Muhammad be respected?”
Muslim Scholar
Symbolized by the word “freedom” - a context very different from the term’s use in the individualistic West: the right of a community,
whether Muslim, Christian or Jewish, to be free from grave insult to its identity and values.
Many believe the clash was not Muslim against Christian. Instead, they suggested that the traditionalism of people of both faiths in the region
conflicted with Western individualism and secularism.

Social Construction of Reality is based on ..
…..the fact that because interpretations differ, a common base of communication must be found.
Egyptians argued that a slur against their faith was a greater offense
than any attack on a living person.

Social Construction of Reality is based on ..
..this common base is known as social reality and is developed based on
the most common interpretation of physical reality within a society.

George Herbert Meade
I , Me, Other
The Generalized Other
Internalized Rules to become functioning members of society.

Dramaturgy - Erving
Goffman“Presentation of Self in Everyday Life”

Theory in a Nutshell
As an symbolic interactionist he sees….the social construction of individual identity and
group relations dynamics and meanings of interpersonal
information the relationship between environment and these
processes the conscious manipulation of impression
management
![Page 12: Chapter 4 socialization and the construction of reality rev](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/54808a9fb4af9f182a8b493a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The DramaThrough the drama actors give meaning to themselves, to
others and their situation. Interactions (performances before observers) deliver impressions to others according to the
actors goals.
Information is exchanged to confirm identity and the significance of behavior.

“THE FRONT”It expresses a dramatic realization of the interpersonal self that individuals through "impression management" activity, generate,
present and others expect.
![Page 15: Chapter 4 socialization and the construction of reality rev](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/54808a9fb4af9f182a8b493a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
“A front must be convincing – ‘in-line’ with expectations. The behavior is in line with the role they assume.”
![Page 16: Chapter 4 socialization and the construction of reality rev](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/54808a9fb4af9f182a8b493a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
An "idealized" front conforms to conventions, mores and rules required by
the audience (the team, the gang, the public).
The aim is for the performance to be believed.
![Page 17: Chapter 4 socialization and the construction of reality rev](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/54808a9fb4af9f182a8b493a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“Signs and Signifiers”The front incorporates the setting and baggage we
bring with us.
![Page 18: Chapter 4 socialization and the construction of reality rev](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/54808a9fb4af9f182a8b493a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Appearance Dress, props (clothes, car, house, food, body posture, facial expressions, gestures) serve to communicate gender, status,
occupation, age and personal commitments.
![Page 19: Chapter 4 socialization and the construction of reality rev](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/54808a9fb4af9f182a8b493a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
MannerHow we play the role; the personal touch - works to warn
others of how the performer will act or seek to act in role - dominant, aggressive, yielding, receptive etc.
![Page 20: Chapter 4 socialization and the construction of reality rev](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/54808a9fb4af9f182a8b493a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
“Risk Taking”Can also involve performance in voluntary, consequential actions.
Many high risk and action settings provide occasion and place for expression of moral sensibilities such as bravery, courage,
determination, reliability, mastery of valued arts which inspires the confidence of others.

Goffman writes: “If the activity of an
individual is to embody several ideal standards, and if
a good showing is to be made, it is likely then that
some of these standards will be maintained in public by
the private sacrifice of others.”

Symbolic Interactionist ViewpointSymbolic interactionist might attempt to describe the way people
evaluate their own behavior by comparing it to the behavior of others
The filmmakers edit scenes to convey a certain expression of reality than what is actually presented in “real life”.

Structural Functionalist
ViewpointFunctional analysis is the study of society as a whole unit, made up of individual parts that work together.
To be part of the “In-crowd” Learn the latest fads, technology and slang through product placement. Advertisers benefit. The economy benefits.
People in society that previously had nothing in common can now seemingly carry on conversations as if longtime friends because they both view the same show.

Product Placement on Reality TV

more realistic than fictitious”

“Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women” ~ Susan Faludi
How media works to create a backlash against women whenever advancements in the workplace, rights, etc. are becoming publicly
evident.
Are these images working to keep women “hysterical” and “emotionally inept” within a culture that has emasculated the
male population due to a failing economy?
