Symbolic Interactionism Discussion

apply concepts from symbolic interactionism (e.g., symbols, meaning, taking the role of the other, I/Me, generalized other, naming, symbolic manipulation) to analyze the ABC Good Morning America clip about the controversy surrounding Colin Kaepernick (and other athletes) kneeling during the National Anthem. You should watch the video where Dr. Wilson tells a story to illustrate concepts from symbolic interactionism before starting this discussion.  In your  DISCUSSION POST  you should: Use concepts from symbolic interactionism to make sense of why the action of kneeling during the National Anthem created such controversy, how Kaepernick reacted to his critics, and how those who agreed/disagreed with his actions attempted to shape the meaning of what was going on. Discuss what new insights does symbolic interactionism offer us about the situation. Explain how this theory help clarify values being invoked in the situation Notes on this discussion: Your task is NOT to explain whether you agree or disagree with Kaepernick’s actions. Instead, your purpose is to show how concepts from symbolic interactionism can help us gain new insights about this situation. Your responses should draw on ideas from the Griffin TEXTBOOK  and demonstrate you can use those concepts to make sense of things discussed in the clip from ABC’s Good Morning America. Be sure to define key concepts explicitly when you introduce them.
