The Bucket List
My name is Sarkis Minasakanian and I am an interactionist because I am in support with the interactionist perspective. I will be discussing the interactionist perspective with the movie “The Bucket
List”. In my family, I am the person that guides each member on how to communicate with certain members. I do this because it reduces the chance of an argument or hostility. Certain members of my family do not like each other for past family reasons, but they build a bond when they start communicating with each other, with my guidance.

He wanted to build that strong bond of love with her again, I truly believe that this is what he wanted. He wanted to feel normal again with his previous life, life before knowing about cancer. This is supported by his wife wanting to have a romantic night with Carter, they wanted that interaction they’ve been missing for so long. This meant that his wife forgave Carter for venturing out with a stranger he just met, her emotions showed that she cared and wanted to reduce their hostility from wanting to have a interactive romantic night. Before this all happened, Carter took Edward to go see his daughter, but he angrily refused and went home, despite Carter trying to prove that family is important and we must communicate with them and interact with them, which is approved in
