Social interaction consists of how an individual act with other people as well as their reactions to other peoples actions (Michel et al. 2011). Figure 1: Interactions with social world (Source: As created by author) Interactions with close friends and family: Most of my interactions are limited to the intimate circles of friends and family. Here, I use colloquial terms and friendly language. Interactions with colleagues, peers and social groups: The second most common type of every day interactions take place with my friends in the college and social groups of which I am a part of (Couldry, 2012). Interactions with community and society: Most of my interactions with the community and society are based on the principles of hierarchy and well established societal norms (Chambliss Schutt, 2015). Interactions in the virtual world and social network: Online and social networking has become an essential component of our social world. Interactions with formal organizations: Here, my interaction is limited to my college, financial institutions, and other corporations. The language used possesses certain levels of professionalism and strong formal structures are observed (Hasson et al., 2012). Conclusion From the above discussion, it can be concluded that our interactions within our social world is dependent on the type of relationships we share with one another, our own understanding of the self and the social status of the parties in interactions.
