316) · Foucault - that social order is produced through the power of knowledge and discourse (that which is talked about), which are the products of historical processes (Silva, E, pg. 319) Buchanan’s and Monderman’s views on ordering public space will be used to further illustrate Goffman’s focus on the way people negotiate interactions with each other, his interactional order and Foucault’s emphasis on authoritative knowledge and application of order by authorities or experts. The two propositions are similar in that both are concerned with the wider questions of understanding how society is produced and reproduced and specifically how social order is made and remade. Goffman and Foucault both sought to make the often invisible social order visible albeit through differing mechanisms, Goffman through metaphor and Foucault through historical analysis. Similar claims were made around the ways of understanding singular issues in interaction, although Foucault focuses on the power of historical precedent and powerful discourse on shaping the individuals and society while Goffman focuses on individuals shaping society through their interactions, rituals and habits.

Social Structure and Social Interaction This essay will examine and discuss the importance of social structure and social interaction, in the shaping of individual identity and determine if there is one that has more influence than the other. To answer this question effectively it is necessary to understand both elements and the role they play in defining our identity. When sociologists undertake sociological analysis, there are two levels social structure is the macro sociological viewpoint and social interaction is micro sociological aspect. Social structure as described by Henslin, Possamai, and Possamai-Inesdy (2011) is the influence of traditional behavior which configures a group, such as the interactions between males and females, or doctors and patients. Steven E. Barkan wrote in Sociology: Comprehensive Edition (v.1.0), the foremost areas of social structure is positions, roles we have in our community, community systems, groups and associations.
The Sociological Explanation of the role of Culture in Contemporary Society Culture consists of the beliefs, behaviours, objects, and other characteristics common to the members of a particular group or society. Through culture, people and groups define themselves, conform to society's shared values, and contribute to society. Thus, culture includes many societal aspects: language, customs, values, norms, mores, rules, tools, technologies, products, organizations, and institutions. For example the functionalist theory of culture: Functionalism is a perspective which sees society made up of parts which work together to maintain society as an integrated.

Locke’s own writing within his account of personal identity begins with the quote; “This being premised to find where in personal identity consists we must consider what persons stand for”[1]. Locke’s initial meaning within this quotation suggests that to fully understand personal identity it is important to firstly understand and judge what our purpose is as individuals. Locke answers his own question of which he proposed within his opening quotation by stating that he considers a person to be; “…. A thinking intelligent being, that has reason and reflection and can consider itself as it self the same thinking thing in different time and places, which it does only by that consciousness, which is inseparable from thinking and as it seems to me essential to it”[2] Clearly within this quotation raised by Locke the philosopher considers consciousness as being an integrity role within understanding and judging our own personal identity. Locke however further strengths his own account by suggesting from this Locke considers personal identity as distinguishing what kind of person we are through our own identity; “A thinking intelligent being has reason and reflection, and can consider itself as itself, the same thinking thing indifferent times and places, which it does only by that consciousness which is inseparable from thinking…”[3]
Depending on the society, they will be governed more by one or the other. To be clearer, an implicit rule can be described as a “social norm”, and an explicit rule as a law. The goal of this paper is to discuss and find the more important of the two within a society.

From the perspective of symbolic interactionism, society is in a constant state of re-creation through interaction and negotiation of meanings. We created the rules we live by, and, importantly, we re-create these rules everyday through our interactions with one another. Mostly, societies are conservative with respect to social change. But, our redefining of: 1) the symbolic meanings we attach to things and events, 2) our sense of morality and ethics, and 3) what we choose to value have important implications for the rules we create and the ways we choose to live with one
