    To start with, nimrod, it's Herbert Blumer and Charles Horton Cooley you were directed to research. Both had a significant impact on Symbolic Interactionism. However, unless shared symbols (in this case -- correctly spelled names) have the same meaning to both the sender and receiver, you and the others reading this item will never reach a consensus. Well, what do you know . . . Symbolic Interactionism in a nutshell!

    I could assess a strong statement explaining nothing nothing but showing how strong bad answers are sometimes to be remembered when weak good answers are not. I could for instance say something like : "Brummer and Cooley are less easy to remember than Mead".
    But the point is somewhere else. And it's worthwhile trying to get it, I mean, for a sociologist. Mead certainly did better somewhere than Brummer and Cooley. What and where was it and why dit it work, I don't know. But it's probably possible to get into and find out some answer.
