All of a sudden, I found myself thinking sociologically when I was with my cousin and she was on her sister's phone on facebook. She was on facebook and I could hear her talking to herself because she was struggling that people were talking about her through this social networking site and she was pretty mad. Then, I talked to her and explained to her about what was going on that I had learned in sociology class and that everyone and everything is divided into different groups that represent many different things.
In class we learned that there are many different groups that everyone can be divided into and described as and identified by them. I think that this group is a social network where facebook fits in and I think that there was a conflict and that there was some social exchange basically because my cousin was the one with the conflict with a certain problem that she had to get over with the people that were talking about her. Also I think that there was some social exchange here because they were causing a conflict to make her mad and get in exchange to see her react to it.
You've picked up on the social networking group for sure..but how was social exchange part of their interaction?
