Answer 1

The correct answer is:

b) the meaning of symbols is learned through interaction with others.

Step-by-step explanation:

The symbolic interactionist theory proposes the study of the human being as an individual, the society in which he is immerse and the interaction that they have, taking into consideration the symbolic representations according to each context. According to this theory the behavior and decisions of a human being will be determined by the circumstances in which he will perform, and also the symbols and images to which he might be exposed to. This might happen because the individual develops his cognitive process depending on the socio-cultural environment in which he is involved besides the reflections, or lifestyles that he could observe from his peers.
