Watch the rest of “Freedom Writers” and answer the following question:

Perception Discussion Question:

Pick any scene/character and use symbolic interactionism OR The Perception Process to describe one character’s perception of another. Be specific, analyze the concept/theories and use your lectures/text to back-up your claims. I want to see that you understand the theory you are applying.

ONCE AGAIN – DON’T FORGET! This seems like a question you could answer whether you take this course or not with simple terms. But, the point of it is to apply what was learned from the lecture & textbook. So, be sure to incorporate that learning into your answer and CITE IT!

Example:
“I drew a picture of a mother and a daughter talking about how each of their days. I feel this is interpersonal communication because, according to the lecture, one of the purposes of interpersonal communication is to acquire information. In this example, the mother and daughter are acquiring information from one another. Directly after that slide I came upon this discussion question. However, later in the lecture, I learned that we are all senders and receivers during an interaction. To add context to my picture, let’s pretend that the daughter is staring out the window as her mother is talking about her day. She would potentially be sending a message to her mother that she is not paying attention. At the same time the daughter is receiving a message from her mother (O’Connell, Interpersonal Communication Lecture).
