"To so enter into it in nature and art that the enjoyed meanings of life may become a part of living is the attitude of aesthetic appreciation". SYMBOLIC INTERACTIONISM 1. The mind as the individual importation of the social process. 2.The self and the mind are like social processes where gestures are taken in by the individual organism and so with the collective attitudes of others and react accordingly with other organized attitudes. 3. The mind and the self are the products of communication process.

In the Buddhist faith, though, the top of the head is the highest point of the body, and its where the spirit exists. SYMBOLIC INTERACTIONISM Human action and interaction are understandable only through the exchange of meaningful communication or symbols. The main principles of symbolic interactionism are: 1.

SELF AS REFLEXIVE PROCESS THIS IS AT LEAST PART OF WHAT I MEAN WHEN I SAY THAT I AM RATIONAL, AND THAT IT IS MY REASON THAT DISTINGUISHES ME AS A HUMAN BEING FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD. I WISH, ABOVE ALL, TO BE CONSCIOUS OF MYSELF AS A THINKING, WILLING, ACTIVE BEING, BEARING RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY CHOICES AND ABLE TO EXPLAIN THEM BY REFERENCES TO MY OWN IDEAS AND PURPOSES. I FEEL FREE TO THE DEGREE THAT I BELIEVE THIS TO BE TRUE, AND ENSLAVED TO THE DEGREE THAT I AM MADE TO REALIZE THAT IT IS NOT.
