Topic > And social interactionism: symbolic interactionism
This assumption summarizes the theory according to which society, through the constant interpretation and reproduction of symbols, helps shape people into who they are; no one is truly a “unique” individual, everyone is simply a reflection of what society has made them so. The member of society becomes a social construct, in the sense that no one is born with a sense of who they are, they become who they are based on the symbolic values of society
