QUESTIONS TO SHARPEN YOUR FOCUS

1		Social constructionists see themselves as curious participants in a pluralistic world. To what extent are you willing to give up the quest for certainty, a detached perspective, and the idea of truth as singular to join them?
2		Can you provide a rationale for placing this chapter on CMM immediately after the chapter on symbolic interactionism?
3		The film Forrest Gump was remarkable in that Forrest's stories told matched his stories lived. To what extent did this congruence help Forrest engage in dialogic communication?
4		CMM suggests that we can take part in joint action without shared understanding-coordination without coherence. Can you think of an example from your own life?
