1. Social constructionists see themselves as curious participants in a pluralistic
world. Are you willing to live with uncertainty, abandon a detached perspective,
and not insist on a singular view of Truth so that you can join them?
2. Can you provide a rationale for placing this chapter on CMM immediately after
the chapter on symbolic interactionism?
3. CMM suggests that we can take part in joint action without a common under–
standing—coordination without a shared coherence. Can you think of examples
from your own life?
4. Can you recall an important conversation in which you may have helped create
a better social world? Were you mindful of what you were making, and did you
spot a bifurcation point where you could change the pattern of conversation?
