Symbolic interactionism is a sociological theory that focuses on the meanings that people impose on objects, events, and behaviors through social interaction. It analyzes society by addressing the subjective meanings given by individuals, who behave based on their own interpretations rather than objective reality. The theory was pioneered by George Herbert Mead and developed further by Herbert Blumer, who outlined its three basic premises: that people act based on the meanings they ascribe to things, that meanings arise from social interaction, and are modified through interpretation. Symbolic interactionism emphasizes symbols, social construction of meaning, and the roles people play.
Symbolic interactionism is a sociological theory that develops from practical considerations and alludes to people's particular utilization of dialect to make images and normal implications, for deduction and correspondence with others.
A discussion about the early history of functionalism and its proponents as well as the concept of structuralism and Merton's concept of Manifest and Latent Functions and Dysfunctions in social elements

4. Relations of Production
Classes or categories of people are markedly defined according to where they stand in the productive process. Marx called the owner of the factory (or any piece of technology as the capitalists; and the workers, the proletariat. Social relations depend on who owns or controls the means of production (land, technology, and capital) – in this case, the capitalist. Anyone going into this capitalists system enters a definite social relation determined by “relations of production.” Anyone who controls the capital (raw materials and the means of production) becomes the ruling class.
5. Base and Superstructure
To elucidate further, society consists of two parts: first the “base,” which is the economy; second, the “superstructure,” which consists of social structure such as religion, family, law, government, culture, values, etc., that rest on top of the economic base. Therefore, the class that controls the base shall control the social structures of society. In this light, Marx saw cultural forms as not only economic in nature but also “ideological” because they represent the interests of the ruling class. This ideology is not at all easily realized by both the proletariat and the ruling elite because “reality” is disguised due to long history of having been involved with such system of relationship

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Definitions
• The symbolic
interaction perspective,
also called symbolic
interactionism, is a
major framework of
sociological theory. This
perspective relies on
the symbolic meaning
that people develop
and rely upon in the
process of social
interaction.
3. Definitions
• Symbolic interaction
theory analyzes society by
addressing the subjective
meanings that people
impose on objects, events,
and behaviors. Subjective
meanings are given
primacy because it is
believe that people behave
based on what they
believe and not just on
what is objectively true.
5. George Herbert Mead
• Pioneered the
development of
symbolic interaction
perspective
• He is the one who
argued that “people's
selves are social
products, but that
these selves are also
purposive and
creative.”
6. The Three Basic Premises
Herbert Blumer (1969) set out three basic
premises of the perspective:
• "Humans act toward things on the basis of the
meanings they ascribe to those things."
• "The meaning of such things is derived from,
or arises out of, the social interaction that one
has with others and the society."
• "These meanings are handled in, and modified
through, an interpretative process used by the
person in dealing with the things he/she
encounters."
7. The first premise:
"Humans act toward things on the basis of the meanings they
ascribe to those things."
• includes everything that a
human being may note in
their world, including
physical objects, actions
and concepts. Essentially,
individuals behave
towards objects and
others based on the
personal meanings that
the individuals has
already given these items.
8. The second premise:
"The meaning of such things is derived from, or arises out of, the
social interaction that one has with others and the society."
• arises out of, the
social interaction that
one has with other
humans. People
interact with each
other by interpreting
or defining each
other's actions instead
of merely reacting to
each other's actions.
9. The third premise:
"These meanings are handled in, and modified through, an interpretative
process used by the person in dealing with the things he/she encounters."
• We naturally talk to
ourselves in order to sort
out the meaning of a
difficult situation. But
first, we need language.
Before we can think, we
must be able to interact
symbolically. emphasis on
symbols, negotiated
meaning, and social
construction of society
brought on attention to
the roles people play.
10. Key points:
• Symbolic interaction
has roots in
phenomenology, which
emphasizes the
subjective meaning of
reality.
• Symbolic
interactionism proposes
a social theory of the
self, or a looking glass
self.
11. Key points:
• Symbolic interactionists
study meaning and
communication; they
tend to use
qualitative methods.
• Symbolic
interactionism has been
criticized for failing to
take into account
large-scale macro social
structures and forces.
12. Example:
• Studies find that teenagers
are well informed about the
risks of tobacco, but they
also think that smoking is
cool, that they themselves
will be safe from harm, and
that smoking projects a
positive image to their
peers. So, the symbolic
meaning of smoking
overrides that actual facts
regarding smoking and risk.
