Takeaways

• 😀 Human beings are social creatures who require interaction to fulfill daily needs, whether for casual conversations or deeper discussions.
• 💬 Social interaction, also known as 'hubungan sosial', is a reciprocal process between individuals or groups involving stimuli and responses.
• ⏳ Interaction can occur at any time—past, present, or future—without any strict time boundaries.
• 👥 For social interaction to happen, at least two people must be involved: one to initiate the interaction and another to respond.
• 🔄 The essence of social interaction is the exchange of a stimulus (e.g., a question or greeting) and a corresponding response.
• 👐 Communication is a key feature of social interaction, and it can be verbal or non-verbal, such as using symbols like waving hands.
• 📝 Social interaction requires a clear purpose, whether it's sharing information, asking questions, or simply connecting with others.
• 📱 Social interaction can be direct (face-to-face) or indirect (using media like texts, social media, or calls). Both are valid methods of communication.
• 📚 Direct contact, or 'primary' interaction, occurs when people communicate in person, without any intermediaries like technology.
• 🌐 Indirect contact, or 'secondary' interaction, happens through technology, such as texting or social media messages, making it possible to communicate without being physically present.
