This assignment encourages you to apply the SymbolicInteractionist perspective to your daily life. First, keep a journal that chronicles your life over a two-day period. Second, highlight your journal using different colored markers. Indicate which journal entries would be of most interest to Simmel or Mead. Third, construct a 4 ? 6 page paper that compares and contrasts how each theorist would analyze your experiences.
