The Coordinated Management of Meaning can be broken down into an interpretive theory existing of four different parts. One of those four would be the idea of Reflexivity meaning that “our actions have effects that bounce back and affect us”. An example of this that comes into my mind is in Coach Carter where Cruz decides to walk out on the team. His actions later bounce back to effect him when he wants to join the team again but Coach Carter will only let him back on the team if he performs a substantial amount of push ups and suicides. Following this is a more positive example. When Cruz does not get it done the other players step up and do it for him. Then their actions come back to effect them by building team chemistry and getting one of their better players back.

Below is the link for the scene in which i’m talking about.
