The framework is a theoretical perspective called symbolic interaction. Its focus is on how interactional dynamics shape our behavior and our sense of who we are and what we can do. We use a multicultural approach to understanding the social construction of the self in society. We will analyze issues of identity and equality as they relate to social class, disability, sexual orientation, and among people of color(specifically African Americans and Latinos/Latinas).
