    You can’t make a new reltionship without communicating with the other people. It just doesn’t work like that. So the way you first speak and listen to someone for the first time can make them feel either welcome or overlooked. As you listen, speak, comment and watch it is good to take an interest or at least look like you are, like smile and nod now and again, whether it be to a service user, a member of their family, a colleague or a visiting practitioner you are building and developing your relationship with them so it’s best to be engaged. Communication will always to be the main way anyone develop their relationships at work, or anywhere in general.…

    Small Group Experiences

    • 1065 Words
    • 5 Pages

    If I viewed my small group experience through the concept of symbolic interaction theory, founded by Tom Shibutani, you begin to gain knowledge and an understanding of what is going on. The symbolic interaction theory is that people act on symbolic meanings that they find in situations. Immersing yourself into the small group allows one to create different relationships around oneself. The challenge is to then create shared and similar meanings. The meanings are then personalized by an interpretive process, and after being processed one looks to others to externally view our modifications. When doing this you develop your own self-concept of one another. When we sat down as a group we each introduced ourselves. It was awkward at first, but then we all shared a similar thought and started to interact with each other to avoid awkward silence and situation. The definition of the situation is the reactions to the shared agreements between one another and each member of the group expected one another to participate in the activity and share ideas together. Once established, we discussed the best way to meet people, what we found…

    For the interview, I’m planning on two things for an icebreaker. The first thing that I’m planning on doing is to catch up with him since I took classes with him last summer. The thing is that I imagine that he will be as interested as me in how the past months have been for us. Also, I will ask him about his family and his trips because he said that he loved traveling.

    In all cities and cultures around the world are there unwritten rules, who people outside this place will not understand. That was what has inspired Siri Hustvedt about New York City. She moved from her little hometown Minnesota to New York, which was a big difference from the life she used to live. Especially the unwritten law: "PRETEND IT ISN'T HAPPENING-Law" fascinates her the most. That is how many in New York are thinking, even though most of them actually catch what are happening around them. It is impressing how they can ignore what people do, how they look like or what they say right beside them, or choose not to react on it, when people to things to bother unconscious. Is it something they do on purpose or is it just their nature to be like that? It is also fantastic how small details, like a smile or a trivial compliment, can change a person's day completely.
