What theories of the self and interaction are relevant to your experiences? Define and explain each of the concepts/theories before applying them to your empirical examples. (Emotion work, self social construction, rule of denial)
REFLECTION AND LIMITATIONS: Based on your sociologically analysis, what does the application of these concepts and theories illustrate about the self and social reality? What might be some further issues of exploration and additional sociological questions? Are there gaps in the analysis or issues left unexplained?
