My primary love language at this given time is quality time (32%). I find the quiz to be pretty accurate, I've taken this quiz before and always tell friends to take it as well. I feel like this quiz can quickly help people understand what they "need" to feel loved by others. Although, yes it is accurate, quality time is a big one for me! I enjoy spending time with the people I love the most, even their presence just warms me up.  
2.) In our textbook, Society: The Basics (15th Edition) By John J. Macionis it states, " I become what I have to become, what I can become: I construct myself. That is, I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I wish to achieve with you. And, of course, you do the same with me. " ( Page 106 ). With this in mind, I can relate this back to how my relationship is with my father. My father and I are very different when it comes to showing love or giving love. Thus, he is an act's of service type of person, therefore, I have to adjust what my needs and values are when it comes to love and mold myself to what he needs to "feel loved". Love is something that changes on the daily, no one loves the same and no one takes it the same. At the end of the day we adjust our needs and values for each other, meaning that there is care in the relationship and thoughtfulness when it comes down to showing love to each other. People must communicate their needs and wants in a relationship, which is why my dad knows that I am a quality time person and he knows I enjoy spending time with him whether it be hiking or what not, and as for him he enjoys when I help him out with tasks or run errands with him. Every relationship you have will have people showing you love in different ways from the rest so always communicate what your love language is so people can understand what it takes for you to feel "loved". 
3.) The symbol in this situation is the 5 love languages itself. To furtherly explain how this is an example of symbolic interaction, essentially, the way you show love to people all depends on how they love you. Highlighting, that the way that they portray love to you or vise versa helps the other understand if you truly do care to consider their love language ( the symbol ). In the textbook, it states, "Language communicates not only a surface reality but also deeper levels of meaning ." (Page 116). I feel like this personally can emphasize that if a person cannot communicate what they need or want to feel loved that's where the issue may arise in relationships. As for a situation, how can the symbol affect the interactions? Well, if someone is stubborn or doesn't know how to show love or decides to not show love in a certain way when communicated, that's where the other person may feel as if they don't care enough to love me in the way that I need to feel loved, which can be hurtful and frustrating. ]]> 2022-01-08 22:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1981928504 Chapter 4 Discussion - Joeana Gonzalez https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1981953999
1. My primary love language was quality time at 33%. I believe the quiz was accurate because I feel that showing love is shown through actions someone makes. When I spend time with someone I am able to see how the person acts with me and what their intentions are with me. 
2. The person I immediately think of is my boyfriend whose love language is acts of service, 36%. This is absolutely true for him and as his girlfriend, I feel the most appreciated when I tend to help him with things such as making his bed, making him lunch, helping him fold or wash clothes, etc. In the textbook, Society The Basics, it states on page 105, “...I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I wish to achieve with you. And, of course, you do the same.” My boyfriend and I work together to make things work in our relationship and our compromise is simple. I get to spend a lot of time with him while I help him do things he wants or needs to get done. In reward, he gives me a kiss or a hug and tells me thank you while he gets his task done. It works for us and I still feel loved and so does he. 
3. The 5 Love Languages are an example of symbolic interaction because how we show love determines how our reality will shape with that individual or group. Symbols that are portrayed here are through actions, communication, gestures, body language, etc. For example, your parents showed you love as a child by spending quality time with you, taking you to the movies, Disneyland, etc. Now you're dating a man you really like and he brings you flowers and chocolates, but you do not feel that he loves you because he’s not spending time with you. You then tell him how you feel and he realizes that he needs to spend time with you in order to show her that he loves her. This is an example of how social interaction is involved in the 5 Love Languages, allowing reality to be formed in the example above. This is proven by the statement made on page 105, from the text, Society The Basics, stating, “Most everyday situations involve at least some agreement about what's going on. But how people see events depends on their different backgrounds, interests, and intentions.”

My primary love language was acts of service. I don't believe this quiz was very accurate. I don't believe this is accurate because I don't actually like it when people do things for me. 
2)
I believe my love language is quality time, with that being said, i believe this has to do with my family. As a family we spend a lot of time together doing different things. However, if my significant other's love language was touch, it may be because she had a background of constant hugs and kisses. As a significant other it's my job to shape or in other words construct myself apperiatly to fulfill my partners needs in the language of love. On page 106 baldovino states “ i present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship i wish to achieve with you”
3)
Symbolic interaction is a theory that society is aoroductnf of everyday interactions of individuals(pg 18). The symboles are the 5 love languages, touch, quality times, acts of service and words of affirmation. These symbols play a huge role in interactions, they are arguably the foundation of interactions. They allow you to better express yourself in ways other than just standard communication. Also when the interaction is mutual it can be accredited to their love languages.

I believe this quiz was fairly accurate because I appreciate the small things a person can say to me that boosts my confidence and totally makes my day a whole lot better.
2) The person I think of is my dad because he has always tried to be there for me when I have sporting events or I like someone to talk to for advice. I have not spent that much time with my dad since back then he was in the navy and was away often. I appreciated him always for what he has done for me and my family. He likes it when I say something nice out of nowhere and when I say "See you later,dad". On page 105 stated from Baldovino "..I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I wish to achieve with you." I understood how much my dad wanted to spend time with me and he still does till this day, I appreciate what we do enjoying seeing cars and watch tv shows on the couch. 
3) The 5 love languages are an example of symbolic interaction is stated by Baldovino on page 105 " we present ourselves in terms that suit the setting and our purposes, we try to guide what happens next, and as others do the same, reality takes shape". The 5 love language symbols which are words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts. Each are meaningful to different kinds of people. As for myself I mostly like to give kind words to others and like to spend time with people I care about the most.]]> 2022-01-09 04:26:15 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1982050852 Jessica Romero https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1982178882 1. My primary love language was quality time at 33%. The quiz was accurate because I like to spend time with someone, I love to express my love and affection.
2. The person I think with a different love language than me is my dad. I think his love of language is words of affirmation because he's always there for me when I need him and supports me a lot when it comes to school and sports. My dad has always told me that I should build who I am. Regarding to our textbook, Society: The Basics (15th Edition) By John J. Macionis chapter 4, "Baldovino suggests that although behavior is guided by status and role, we have the ability to shape who we are and to guide what happens from moment to moment. In other words, "reality" is not as fixed as we may think."  section (4.4) Reminded me when my dad has always told me that I should build who I am. 
3. The 5 love languages are an example of symbolic interaction, "people creatively shape reality through social interaction", chapter 4, section (4.4), because not everyone loves in the same way, people have different ways they prefer to receive love. The symbols are words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. These symbols can affect interactions because if someone doesn't have the same love language as the other one, it can be frustrating and overwhelming. ]]> 2022-01-09 09:41:24 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1982178882 Yuri Pinkoski https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1982420802
1.)  My primary Love Language is “Act of service”. I think this quiz is very accurate. I always feel I’m loved by loved one when they do something for me and help me without any word.

2.)  I believe that helping or doing something for my friend is showing how much I care about them. However, sometimes they seem like don’t really care what I do. I also sometimes confused by friends’ action and I wonder if they really care about me.  Baldovino suggests that “reality remains unclear in everyone’s mind, especially in unfamiliar situation” (Macionis, p105). I think it is very natural to feel confused because people value friendship differently.  I'm still learning about people's different way of showing how much they care and it is interesting to see how each people different. 

3.) I think “act of service”, “physical touch”, quality time” and “receiving gift” are examples of nonverbal communication. For example, action of “physical touch”, “act of service” and, “receiving gifts” are symbols for affection or care. I understand that each person interprets people’s actions differently. Textbook also mentions that “people see events depends on their different backgrounds, interests, and intentions” (Macionis, p105).


]]> 2022-01-09 15:34:53 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1982420802 Kianna Reynante https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1982607075 1. Based on the quiz, it says that my primary love language is quality time. I do believe that this test is accurate based on my past relationship, I did find that I really enjoyed the quality time that we would spend together. I find quality time very important, I believe that quality time makes more meaningful memories and creates a deeper connection with one's partner.  

2. One person that comes to mind is my aunt and how her love language is more “receiving gifts” and “acts of service.” My aunt's reality is that her partner will do much for her, and that would include paying bills and buying her materialistic things. I don't necessarily see this as something that I desire in my relationships, but that is because I have a different “social construct of reality” (Macionis, p. 105) “...How people see events depends on their different backgrounds, interests, and intentions” (Macionis, p. 105), therefore my aunt sees her reality including having a partner that will “take care of her” with gifts and acts. And that could have to do with her cultural background and how Mexicans believe that men should care and provide for the women. 

3. The 5 Love Languages are an example of Symbolic Interaction because the types of love languages represent how one may express their love to someone else. The symbols of the love languages are communication, actions, and kind gestures. The symbols affect the interactions because it is going to influence how one is going to express their love to the other person. “So we present ourselves in terms that suit the setting and our purposes, we try to guide what happens next, and as others do the same, reality takes shape” (Macionis, p. 105). Therefore, people are going to act and do actions that suit the way they express or the way their partner wants them to express love, shaping their own reality. For example, one person may shower their partner with gifts, and that may be because that partner's love language is “receiving gifts.” Whereas someone else may not be a good gift giver, but is constantly wanting to go out with their partner and “spending quality time” with them.

My primary love language is quality time. I think the quiz was fairly accurate, because spending time with those I love is a very important part of the relationship for me. 

2. My partners love language is gift, so I think initially he thinks that is everyones love language. I think with time and learning, he nows knows that spending time is more precious to me and I have learned that small gifts show him I appreciate him. 

3. How we show love is very symbolic of the reality we shape with those close to us. Growing up I spent a lot of time with family and friends, wether family picnics, movie nights at cousins house, sleepovers etc. Strong relationships with my cousins and friends were built by spending time together and enjoying quality time or hobbies together. This has moved into my adulthood to which if someone doesn't show the same interest I do in making time to see each-other, spending time together, then it's hard to accept they care about me. ]]> 2022-01-09 22:00:27 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1982690695 Angelica De La Mora https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1982733152 1. My primary love language is Words of Affirmation (30%). I think this quiz was accurate because I think that encouraging and positive statements are important in order to feel loved and appreciated. 
2. The person that I think of is my Mom. Her love language is Acts of Service and she does a lot for me to show that she cares but sometimes I wished that she would express how she feels about me in my love language. Section 4.4: The Social Construct of Reality, Baldovino states, "I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I  wish to achieve with you." I believe that this is true because me and my mom each do nice/thoughtful things for each other and think that the other person will perceive this the same way we do when in reality we might not.
3. The 5 love languages are an example of symbolic interaction as revealed by Baldovino where he claims, "we present ourselves in terms that suit the setting and our purposes." When people interact they are exchanging symbols (words, gestures, body language) that are interpreted by the other person. Each person has a specific love language that they feel is most important to them so when this person interacts with someone else who might not have the same love language, then they will not fully understand the person's intentions. I think this is why it is important to check in with your partner or loved one on a regular basis to know how they are feeling and how you could potentially better your relationship with them. ]]> 2022-01-09 23:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1982733152 Christina Schnell https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1982928165 1.)  According to the quiz, my primary Love Language is Acts of Service, followed closely by Receiving Gifts. Acts of Service is definitely accurate. I do not consider myself to be materialistic, so by reading the title alone I never would have guessed I would have scored so high on Receiving Gifts. But after reading the interpretation: “Don’t mistake this love language for materialism; the receiver of gifts thrives on the love, thoughtfulness, and effort behind the gift. If you speak this language, the perfect gift or gesture shows that you are known, you are cared for, and you are prized above whatever was sacrificed to bring the gift to you. A missed birthday, anniversary, or a hasty, thoughtless gift would be disastrous—so would the absence of everyday gestures.” I believe that to be accurate as well. 


2.)  On pg 105 (14th ed.) our book says, “social interaction is a complex negation that builds reality”, and “we present ourselves in terms that suit the settings and our purposes”. I am not a touchy-feely person, but many of my family members are. During holidays or visits after being apart for a long time, I am able to “present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship” and partake in the large amounts of hugging.


3.) In symbolic interaction, it is believed people respond to elements of their environments based on subjective meanings the individuals have already given these items. The meaning of these items comes from the social interaction that one has with other people. The symbols in this case are acts of service, gifts, words of affirmation, quality time and touch. When spouses are aware of each other’s primary love language they will behave towards each other based on their personal preferences of expressing love.

For the quality time I got 30%, for receiving gifts I got 20%, for physical touch I got 20% as well, four words of affirmation I got 17% & last but not least for acts of service 13%. In my opinion I think that the test was how I really am but not as much because I think that the time is something really important in a relationship or not even in a relationship and family and friends I think that having the right amount of time to spend with them and just have fun laugh give love , hugs or even say a I love you will take time but is not impossible if you really feel it or want to say it , for me like I said time is very important . 
My primary love language is quality time.. I actually do believe it’s accurate becuase is something I really take into consideration when it has to be with relationships.

2. I think that the person That comes to my mind is my brother he is 12 years old and he’s more
Of a “receiving gifts “ since my brother is a little bit young he thinks that the most important things are gifts which for me the gifts are the least important thing. It says that ,”Baldovino gives out or suggests that it remains unclear in everyone’s mind especially y an unfamiliar situation “   in my opinion we all have or even show love to our friendships or even boyfriends or girlfriends love in a diferent way . Many people give hugs many people give gifts many people say words but at the end we are trying to say the same thing just in a different type of way, we must value every friendship and everyone in our lives because they’re put in there for some reason . We learn from everything and every people that comes to our life . Many people do show their love and how much they care for us but many people don’t like to show it as much.

3. In my opinion I think that quality time physical touch and words of affirmation and maybe acts of service could be very helpful in a way , becuase at the end they are things that many people use as a tool to show love or even love their people , for example my family and boyfriend always have the time for me , the time to have fun laugh and even enjoy every part of our time together , receiving gifts could be another part of showing love because that shows that you remember those people who you love and you buy them things that may have a significant for both , physical touch meaning as hugs and kisses as well show love , like when my mom hugs me she makes me feel loved . There are many ways to show that you love to be your spend time with others.]]> 2022-01-10 05:58:31 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1983139790 Ashley Conway https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1983225800 1. My primary love language is quality time. I found this to be accurate because in all different types of relationships I have, my favorite thing is to spend one on one time together, go somewhere together and catch up.
2. My boyfriend and I have different love languages. His is physical touch and mine is quality time. According to the textbook, "How people see events depends on their different backgrounds, interests and intentions," (Macionis 105). He might hug me but he has his attention towards the TV, while I might want to talk to him and forget to hold his hand. We might have a miscommunication due to our differences in how we creatively shape our reality.
3. The 5 Love Languages are an example of symbolic interaction because they are what creates a person's reality in their mind when it comes to being loved. According to the textbook, "The social construction of reality is the process by which people creatively shape reality through social interaction," (Macionis 105). Considering the love languages of touch, quality time, acts of services, gifts and words of affirmation, people's realities of love are created within their mind based on what love language they feel is the most important.]]> 2022-01-10 07:07:32 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1983225800 Daisy De Leija https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1983649259
  • My primary love language is receiving gifts. It was very accurate, but it is not about the big things; I cherish every little tangible gift like a card, or a rose with the date to treasure those moments.  
  • I have a friend whose love language is physical touch, and this is my last love language. Since she noticed I was not very comfortable with all the hugs and rubs, my friend started avoiding being touchy with me; she shaped her form of love with me. “Baldovino suggests that although behavior is guided by status and role, we have the ability to shape who we are to guide what happens from moment to moment” (Macionis, 4.4, p. 3).
  • The five love languages are the symbolic interactions. As the book mentions, the social construction of reality is “The foundation of the symbolic- interaction approach” (Macionis, 4.4, p. 4). We express ourselves thru these languages but adjust them to the situation.

    1.My primary love language is physical touch. It was very accurate even the definition was right on target. I am not the most touchy person but I do value simple packs on the back or hugs etc. Looking back at past relationships I do realize I prioritized physical touch over other love languages.
    2.My dad and I have very different love languages that collide often. His is love language is receiving gifts while mine is physical touch. For example, my dad love to give and receive gifts, so if it my birthday I am bombarded with gifts which I am extremely grateful for but don't appreciate as much as a hug. On the other hand, my dad is not touchy at all so when I try to hug him he is uncomfortable not because he doesn't love but because he was never in an environment where he would experience physical love growing up.  We both have the right intentions just not our preferred way of expressing it. To allude to this idea in the textbook it mentions "How people see events depends on their different backgrounds, interests and intentions," (Macionis 105). 
    3.The five love languages are symbolic interaction because we build our own reality we experience through social interaction. Symbols can be interpreted through language, body language, and even through gifts. For example, in the text it states Symbols have a big impact on “So we present ourselves in terms that suit the setting and our purposes, we try to guide what happens next, and as others do the same, reality takes shape” (Macionis 105). Symbols greatly affect interaction because everyone interacts through symbols whether it language, non-verbal etc. so people are going to demonstrate actions that fits their way of communicating love to others in their own reality.

According to the quiz my primary love language is receiving gifts. I feel the quiz was pretty accurate due to the fact that I love receiving gifts. It doesn't matter how big or small it is, I will appreciate it. 

    2. My love language is receiving gifts and my best friend's love language is physical touch. I personally feel very uncomfortable giving hugs or kisses to others due to the fact that I am not a lovey-dovey person and she is quite the opposite of that. She loves giving and receiving hugs.  We both might have different love languages however we both know we are doing it with the right intention but expressing it in a different way. 

    3. The five love languages are an example of symbolic interaction by how “we present ourselves in terms that suit the setting and our purpose” (Baldovino 105). The symbols that are demonstrated are receiving gifts, words of affirmation, quality time, acts of service, and physical touch. Each love language symbol is relevant to different individuals, due to how “people see events depends on their different backgrounds, interests, and intentions” (Macionis 105).

My primary love language is Words of Affirmation. This quiz was pretty accurate because for me, it's important to also hear your S/O say they love you and give words of encouragement occasionally, and for me that's important just as much as showing it does, I enjoy compliments and being told nice things too.

    2. Me being a person who gives a lot of encouragement and words of affirmation, A friend of mine she doesn't really accept words or encouragement, but she knows I'm just trying to help her and cheer her on, even though I know she doesn't change her attitude cause of my words I still do it in hopes it does one day, it makes things a bit sad, but it still doesn't stop me from trying to motivate her.

    3. The 5 love languages are an example of symbolic interaction because it expresses how each individual is in society and relationships, if they are a giving person, affectionate, etc. It shows what kind of person we are and how we do things individually to help, support and interact with others. These symbols include Words of affirmation, physical though, and acts of service. These symbols affect our interaction because it's how we do things in our own way, some people give presents as welcome gifts or if you missed someone or just wanting to give a gift, meanwhile others don't give gifts, instead they express their emotions through physical touch by jumping on someone and giving them a big hug instead of a gift and through affection they show how they really feel, but theirs also people who set up surprises like a homemade dinner, restaurant reservations or vacation to show what they feel/how they feelings for the other person.]]>     2022-01-10 21:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1984823316     Andrew Gallegos https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1984852860 -1.  My primary love language according to the test is quality time, I found it to be fairly accurate because I value spending time with my loved ones more than any other form of love.
     2. When I think about how I experience love verse how my dad experiences love it makes me realize that we perceive different realities. To my dad for someone to show that they care for him or love him he needs to hear some sort of praise from them, if not he feels as though his gesture or he himself is unappreciated which is quite opposing to how I experience love. Thus, in his mind if someone does not affirm him he feels neglected while it doesn't affect me, meaning the same event can have two different realities in our lives, like how Baldovino suggests reality is not truly fixed 
    (Macionis, p105).
    3. The 5 love languages are a form of symbolic interaction in that how each one is manifested a meaning is reflected in our society. Interestingly enough though the same meaning may not be received. The symbols for each love language are different, for words of affirmation language reflects love, for acts of service it is thoughtful actions that reflect love to that person, the receiving of gifts for others, sweet gestures, and touching. Each one of the symbols has a positive effect on an interaction because these are socially recognized as being gestures of love because they are all ethnomethodological pre programed (Macionis,p106) , but if one is able to line up the correct form with that persons specific love language the interaction will be all the more pleasant for the receiving party.]]>     2022-01-10 22:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1984852860     Andrew Gallegos Reply https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1984863111 2022-01-10 22:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1984863111 My reply to Ivania https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1984866957 2022-01-10 22:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1984866957 Sarah Rodriguez https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1984887336 1. According to the quiz, my primary love language is quality time with an overall 29%. I believe that the results were somewhat accurate because I do appreciate when someone shares some of their time with me. I have heard that your love language tends to be something that you yearned for growing up which makes sense in my case. 
    2. One of my closest friends' love language is physical touch. Due to this, he has been able to shape his own reality based on what he expects to be received from another individual. If it wasn’t for his background and interests, then both of our “realities” would be substantially different. The book states how Baldovino suggests that even when behavior is shaped by one's status and role, we can still mold who we are to shape our interactions (Macionis, p. 105).
    3.  The 5 Love Languages are an example of Symbolic Interaction as the love languages themselves can be seen as symbols. If one understands the symbols that are meaningful to the other person, then one can act in a way that is appropriate. According to the book, “Most everyday situations involve at least some agreement about what’s going on” (Macionis, p. 106). This supports the idea that symbols are affecting our daily social construction of reality.

    1. My primary love language is Acts of Service with a score of 37%.
     The quiz was accurate because I honestly rather have someone help me and I appreciate it 10x more than any type of gift or affection.
     The following were as follow, Words of Affirmation-33%, Quality time-20%, Receiving gifts-7%, and physical touch-3%.
     
     2. I had my husband do the Love Language quiz on his own so I could see the differences. His Love language was receiving gifts, words of affirmation and physical touch all at 20%. This makes sense because he is always trying to make me happy or get me out of being mad at him by buying me something. I am the opposite I don’t care for gifts. So he always says I don’t appreciate the gifts he got me. But now it makes sense. We were both actually laughing about the results and how accurate it was. In Ch. 4 page 106, Baldovino implies that we present ourselves  in terms that suit the setting and our purposes, we try to  guide what happens next, and as others do the same, reality takes shape. Social interaction, then, is a complex negotiation that builds reality. Most everyday situations involve  at least some agreement about what’s going on. But how  people see events depends on their different interests. {J., Macionis John. Society (p. 106)}
     
    3. The 5 love languages are an example of symbolic interaction due to the many symbols we interpret differently and we share in common. Symbols affect the interactions because not everyone has the same love language. Since everyone has a different love language what I might see that my husband is showing me love by doing an act of service to him might be senseless. Emotions also have a big part in symbolic interaction, in Chapter 4, Ekman explains, culture defines what triggers an emotion. (J., Macionis John. Society (p. 114). Pearson Education.) To me quality time might not be as important because of my culture but to my husband it is a top priority in me showing I care.

My primary love language is Acts of Physical Touch with 29%. And I believe the quiz is accurate due to the fact that physical touch is not to far away from my second option which is Acts of Service with 26%. I was debating between these when taking the quiz so I think it's pretty spot on considering that they are close.

    2.)  A family member with a different love language would be my mom. Her way of expressing love is by buying me or my family things we like regardless of it being a big or small. And the same applies to her she loves receiving gifts it's her love language and how she interprets peoples love and gratitude. In chapter 4 page 105 it suggests that social construction of reality is how "people shape their reality through social interaction." This suggests that perhaps growing up my mom was most fond by gifts. This has lead to me experiencing a different reality because of the fact that receiving gifts was the lowest of my love languages with only 6%. This means that although I do appreciate my mom buying me things I would prefer for her to just tell me that she's proud of me instead of showering me with gifts. 

    3. The 5 love languages are an example of symbolic interaction due to the fact that everyone is different. Therefore, people interpret situations differently and the same applies too giving or receiving things. In chapter 4 page 105 it states: "Social interaction is a complex negotiation that builds reality." This suggests that there are many factors that make up how people interact with other people. This means that the 5 love languages are most likely just a summarized easy way of understating the complexities of symbolic interaction and everyone fits somewhere along the 5 options. I believe that the 5 love languages are here to give us the people a better understand of how and why people react the way they do. And the symbols affect interactions because it can affect a variety of things for example, it can cause a misunderstanding, confusion, happiness, and more. The reason is because as long as you do what their love language is then things will go well but if the love languages are too different then confusion may occur. ]]>     2022-01-11 00:20:51 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1984952631     Patty Gutierrez https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1984963716
    1.) My primary love language is "Quality time." The quiz was accurate because I believe sharing time with loved ones can provide more communication and is essential in expressing love, which helps build a bond with each other.

    2.) I can see one of my sisters having a different love language, "receiving gifts." She is a strong believer in gifts because it makes her feel happy and shows her she is cared for. When the subject comes, we tend to disagree. However, we try to social interactions to fix things and give each other love and gifts!

    3.) The 5 languages are an example of symbolic interaction through reality as the book mentions that "we have the ability to shape who we are and to guide what happens from moment to moment" (Macionis, p 105). In other words, we, as who we are, can shape ourselves through social interactions, which will help us agree in any situation. According to the textbook, if we try to guide ourselves in a situation, reality will shape our interaction. As a result, an agreement will be reached depending on people's perspectives. 
    ]]>     2022-01-11 00:31:48 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1984963716     Toni Brito https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1984967738 1. My primary love language was acts of service which is pretty accurate in my case because I am a big believer in the phrase actions speak louder than words. As Macionis states in section 4.5, "[in] everyday interaction, unintended body language can contradict our planned meaning" (109). 
    2. When I think of my friends, many of them lean towards physical touch as their love language. This is most likely because of the shift in modern technology. A growing concern of sociologist, as expressed in section 4.4, is that "the rise of social media has connected people in new ways but weakened social ties among people who share physical space" (Macionis, 107). Perhaps the increasing lack physical connection in everyday interaction has given it more value when it is actually received.
    3. The five love languages exemplify symbolic interaction because depending on certain circumstances of the individual, different meanings will come from different symbols. The symbols in this case are words and/or actions which encompasses language when we relate them to others. As explained in section 4.6, "language is the thread that weaves members of a society into the symbolic web we call culture. Language communicates not only a surface reality but also deeper levels of meaning" (Macionis 113). Symbols affect our interactions because if we do not value or understand how someone else communicates, the meanings we intend to portray may not be understood the same as those who are on the receiving end. ]]>     2022-01-11 00:35:36 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1984967738     Paul Ramirez https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1984973085 1. My primary love language is Quality Time. The Quiz I took was fairly accurate because I believe that your personal time and the attention you give, is more valuable than anything else in the world. No matter how much money or power you have, you can never buy time. So, it’s important to share it with someone you care about and love.

    2. Considering that my love language is Quality time, I have a friend who’s love language is acts of service. We both acknowledge each other's purpose but perceive them with different intentions. We get along with each other very well because he’s always helping me or offering me his help. According to the textbook, “Sociology 14th edition” by John J. Macionis, states, “So we present ourselves in terms that suit the setting and our purposes, we try to guide what happens next, and as others do the same, reality takes shape.” (Macionis, p. 129) We both create a situation where he feels like he is serving his purpose and where I feel like I am serving my purpose. Based on how we feel and our own thoughts on what we might think the other person's intentions could be. 

    3. The 5 language symbols can also be viewed as symbolic interaction. Erving Goffman was a sociologist who analyzed social interaction, he referred to people as actors. “(…) presentation of self, a person’s efforts to create specific impressions in the minds of others.” (Macionis, p. 132) If you understand people’s love language, then you will be able to know how to “act” when you see that specific person. Love language is the symbol in this situation. You can perceive a certain symbol in a positive way when it was meant to be taken in a different way. This can cause confusion between each other, making it harder for them to express their feelings around you. On the other hand, if you understand their love language you can be seen as a more approachable person to them. ]]>     2022-01-11 00:40:07 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1984973085     https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1985090549 1. My primary love language is Act of Service. The quiz was very accurate because the love of kindness wins my heart.
    2. A family member that would have a different love language would be my grandmother, “physical touch” because she enjoys constant hugs and desires to be close to her family. She is the type of person that hates to be alone. In chapter 4 page 105 Baldovino 
    beliefs  that we have capacity to form who we are. I agree with him because no one can control us better then 
    ourselves emotionally.
    3. The five love languages are an example of symbolic interaction by how peoples emotions differ consistently. For example, love has its own personal feel to each person. This symbols that each person is unique in there own way. According to chapter 4 page 104 it says, “ A global perspective shows that people use to be define their lives differ from society to society.”
    Meaning that each person has a verity of emotions when it comes to society.]]>     2022-01-11 02:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1985090549     LOVE LANGUAGE https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1985113214 1. My primary love language is quality time. This quiz was fun and yes this is very accurate for me and my current partners relationship and our day to day. I do enjoy just being around her and doing things together. 

    2. "I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I wish to achieve with you" pg 132. My relationship with my little brother is more Receiving Gifts. He is 13 so he love the new fashion, new high tech stuff. So when I can i get him things that I know he will use and enjoy. This also helps our bond in other areas like quality time because we can go places and shop, or just sit around and look at cool things and talk about the future of the tech world. 

    3. The five love languages are an example by how each person have a different feeling based on emotionally attached each person is. In the book it speaks about how society shapes our interaction. ]]>     2022-01-11 02:36:13 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1985113214     Nicole Ruiz https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1985160749
    1) My primary love language is "Quality time" with a score of 33%.   I believe the quiz accurately identifies your primary love language. Regardless of the fact that I value all of the love languages, I believe that spending time with loved ones can help you learn more about one another and even strengthen your bond.

    2) I have some family members whose love language is gifts and personally I love to give gifts but not receive them. Because we have a different love language it can result in the other person feeling offended because although I'm grateful for gifts it can make me uncomfortable. Since my love language is quality time I'd rather make memories than receive gifts. "How people see events depends on their different backgrounds, interests, and intentions." J., Macionis John. Society (p. 106). As we mature as individuals,  with different backgrounds we may develop new interests, all of which contribute to the construction of our reality and influence how we perceive things.

    3) Because we know how to act towards another we interact with symbols that signify love, the five love languages are an example of symbolic interaction. Action, affection, communication, and nonverbal communication are the symbols here. These symbols have a big impact on us since they shape our reality, it is how we communicate.  We shape ourselves into the people we need to be because, according to our textbook, "I present myself to you in a form suitable  to the relationship I wish to achieve with you." J., Macionis John. Society (p. 106).We understand that our actions have the potential to influence the situations we find ourselves in. We strive to act and convey their love language to them if we want to be with them. " We present ourselves  in terms that suit the setting and our purposes, we try to  guide what happens next, and as others do the same, reality takes shape. Social interaction, then, is a complex negotiation that builds reality." J., Macionis John. Society (p. 106).

  • My primary love language is quality time. I believe that this quiz was accurate because I really like spending time with people no matter what we are doing. 
  • At times you can really tell when someone else has a different love language than yourself. I have notice when they person main love language is physical touch. One of my friends is very “touchy” and at times I am uncomfortable with all the physical touch but that how she shows. 
  • The 5 Love Languages are an example of Symbolic Interaction because it is the way that people either like to show their love or show how they like to receive love from others. They symbols are quality time, Physical touch, words of affirmation, act of service and receiving gifts. Each of these symbols affect the interaction in their own different ways but actions and through words.

    1.) My Primary love language was Quality Time. I think the quiz was pretty accurate because I enjoy spending time with those I love since I get pretty lonely sometimes and spending time with people really lifts my spirit.

    2.) Someone I can think about with a different love language than me would be a friend I have known for a long time whose love language is acts of service. "Baldovino suggests that although behavior is guided by status and role, we have the ability to shape who we..." (4.4) I think this is something I do quite often when I see this friend since I try to change my behavior to fit his love language.

    3.) The five love languages are an example of symbolic interaction because as I mentioned in my second question, "Baldovino suggests that although behavior is guided by status and role, we have the ability to shape who we are and to guide what happens from moment to moment. In other words, “reality” is not as fixed as we may think." What this means is that we take the symbols, which are a specific love language, and we mold ourselves to be able to focus on them in order to please someone else.

My primary love language is acts of service and I believe the quiz is accurate, I really enjoy someone that can relief a pressure from my busy schedule to assist me with any small thing for example clean the house or clean the dishes that for me is a life saver while helping me feel appreciated and loved. All these can be understood as nonverbal communication as stated in chapter 4 page 110 "communication using body movements, gestures, and facial expressions rather than speech."
    2. I would like to mention my mother, her primary love language would be words of affirmation, over the years I have seen that she finds it very important for my father to express using his words how he feels about my mother and to tell her loving things for time to time. Yet I believe my father has not understood that over the 33 years they have been married since my mother still gets mad that my father doesn’t demonstrate his feelings towards my mom to tell her that he loves her or at least some words of appreciation and I found it interesting that page 117 in chapter 4 mentions that "given the importance of gender in everyday life, perhaps we should not be surprised that women and men sometimes have trouble communicating with each other. In fact, some people comment, with more than a little seriousness, that the two sexes often seem to be speaking different languages." Which I find to be very true.
    3. The 5 love languages are an example of symbolic interaction because symbolic interaction is described as relationships among individuals having like a friendship, relationship, etc and in order to have the 5 love language you must first have a relationship with someone and understand how would you like to be treated or understood in it. "As Georg Simmel (1950: 307, orig. 1902), one of the founders of sociology, once pointed out, before we can deal with anyone, we need to know who the person is." (page 103). Language will create meaning to those symbols created by social interaction. ]]>     2022-01-11 05:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1985315497     Melissa De La Torre https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1985316561 1.)

    2.) My teenage daughter has a different love language, it is words of affirmation, and it has been dificult because I am not a person who normally says I love you because it can get worn out and said without meaning like a goodbye, but with her I try to be different because I know she needs it to feel loved an appreciated so I change my reality around her. "The social construction of reality is the process by which people creatively shape reality through social interaction."( Macionis ed.14th pg 105)
    3.)Learning the love language of a loved one helps us socialize with them in a positive way and viceversa, this way we can use definition of situation which is what people use to know what is expected of them. the symbols used are quality time, words of affirmation, gifts, physical touch and acts of service. and they are considered as symbols because. The symbols affect our interactions by helping us know how to socialize with our loved one, and  how to understand them.

I personally don't like how people are touching me or showing their love in that way so I feel a bit uncomfortable, it's something I can live with, I mean, it doesn't bother me much. At the beginning of our friendship, it was more uncomfortable because she shows her love with hugs and does not give that confidence to tell us our primary love language.

    3.The 5 love language is an example of symbolic interaction by "the process which people act and react in relation to others".(Macionis p.101).

  • I am not the most affectionate person so I tend to lack the physical affection connection some of my friends and family might appreciate more than quality time or acts of service. This can sometimes result in the other person in the relationship needing more of a physical connection and feeling as though I do not appreciate them as much as they do me. Physical touch is something that I have never really been comfortable with and it can sometimes be difficult to explain that to others.

My primary Love Language is: quality time. I resonate with that so much, in a relationship I cherish and is so important for me for both to be present together and share that moment doing the thing we love and enjoy, being vulnerable, comfortable and open with each other. 

    2. My boyfriend's love language is physical touch. Although is different for us it works easily because we both need that presence by being together and doing things together. We  both present ourselves very open and honest.

    3. The Love Languages are a very important symbolism right now in society. I think more people are aware of what is their love language, and is an easy system due to all the symbolism that a relationship has. Symbols such as holding hands, kissing, hugging, writing letters, going on dates, living together, are some of what society thinks of the perfect couple. Some other symbolism changes depending on the relationship everybody has with a significant other. As Luigi Pirandello said in his playwright The Pleasure of Honesty, "Inevitably we construct ourselves [...] I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I wish to achieve with you. And, of course, you do the same with me". I really agree with how we present to others is just created within each moment. A relationship is an agreement, both partners share love and history together if they both be themselves in benefit to the relationship (the other and oneself), and it should be mutually. Symbolism really helps a lot on conserving that agreement and growing it and nourish it. ]]>     2022-01-11 06:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1985399208     Audrie Nicks https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1985409564 1.) My primary love language is quality time with a 37 percent. I would say this is very accurate about myself, because it's easy for anyone to say nice things. It's easy for someone to say I love you, but what are they doing to show that. In figure 4.3 a role is defines as, "behavior expected of someone who holds a particular status. A person holds a status and performs a role (Linton 1937)."  I expect someone I'm dating to perform the role of a boyfriend. 
         
    2.)I have a friend who's love language is words of affirmation. This affected her construct of reality when it came to decision making. At one point her boyfriend told her I was a bad friend, because I don't talk much and that made me inconsiderate. She stopped talking to me until they broke up. This affected my interactions with her, because her boyfriends opinion was bigger than her opinion of me. In the discussion of social interaction on page 106, "Most everyday situations involve at least some agreement about what’s going on." There wasn't a clear agreement of communication in our friendship, and that resulted in having two completely different realities.  
         
          3.) The 5 love languages is an example of symbolic interaction, because everyone has different ideals.  On page 106 there is a sentence that I think describes the symbols, "But how people see events depends on their different backgrounds, interests, and intentions." The symbols here could be backgrounds, interests, and intentions. I think these symbols affect interactions through social interaction, because two people introducing themselves are trying to shape the reality of their situation. How people communicate and take jokes is based on background. Intentions and interests can also shape they way two people communicate with one another. ]]>     2022-01-11 06:52:01 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1985409564     Caleb Barrera https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1985487511 1. My primary love language is quality time. This quiz was very accurate because above all else, I love spending time with the people that I care about.
    2. My dad's love language is acts of service. Because of a difference in love languages, the "reality" that I experienced with my dad was very task based. I learned that he was much more appreciative when I did things for him, rather than just hanging out or giving him gifts. I also realized, that although our love languages differed, he did his best to spend time with me, especially when teaching me a new skill.
    3. The 5 love languages are types of symbolic interaction when demonstrated by another individual to be socially pleasant or acceptable to another. Each language acts as a symbol, connecting one person to another. As stated by Baldovino, "So we present ourselves in terms that suit the setting and our purposes, we try to guide what happens next, and as others do the same, reality takes shape"(Macionis, pg. 105) ]]>     2022-01-11 07:45:30 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1985487511     Levy Herlimtan https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1985508033 1. I just found out that my language is quality time, though before, I though it was acts of service. I think this is accurate, as I feel that with my family, just being close together with them brings me comfort, even without doing anything together in particular.
    2. I just recently received a gift from my sister, which is a t-shirt with a reference from "The Office", which is one of our favorite shows. At that moment I almost felt bad since I got nothing to give back to her. She said that it was ok that she receives nothing back, but I got her snacks the next day which she enjoyed. I think that giving gifts is her way to show appreciation, and that giving and receiving gifts create a reality that we appreciate each other.
    3. As defined in the book (Chapter 2), symbols are anything that carry meaning recognized by people who share a culture. When using the languages of love, each language carry specific objects that corresponds to it. gifts, sentences you say to each other, and even presence itself might count as the symbol.]]>     2022-01-11 07:58:04 UTC https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1985508033     https://padlet.com/scastillo64/jmqkorpy8m5ltanp/wish/1985515364 1. My love language is Acts of service. My husband is an introvert; I am not. I feel loved when he willingly steps out of his comfort zone for me.

    2.      My sister in law was offend when I asked "If she knew how to cook rice?" She nonverbally stared in disdain. I smiled. She left the house.  I called her and hours later and asked why she left? "I still need you to cook the rice!" Humor lightens controversial topics (Macionis, p. 117)

    3.      The purpose of an interaction is a form of communication.  By communicating messages both verbally or nonverbally can be interpreted with meaning. The meaning can vary as people come from various backgrounds whom interact differently. Messages can be skewed between sender and receiver due to misconceptions. The symbolic interaction approach what may have arbitrary meanings to one, may be meaningful to another. (Macionis, p. 18)
