I need help on this sociology question. Please, thank you.?

Question

What are some of the pro's and con's for taking either a macro level or micro level analysis of society? What are the most significant contributions of the symbolic interactionist perspectives?

Answer 1

u go into the nitty gritty of society and this will reveal lots of things.  however socio prefers separate studies.  micro shldnt mix with macro.   it all depends on issues involved.  eg suicide among teens in japan - it has to be approached fr both levels.  

s.interactionist - how reality is constructed by active and creative actions between members of society.  thru these interactions,  we create meaningful social entities and behaviour.  our own identity is also formed.  our behavior with others also changes in diff situations.  so we wear many hats.  and each will suit the occasion
