Symbolic interaction theory states: Question 29 options: a) people create shared meanings and interact based on those meanings. b) people are social to survive and produce offspring. c) interaction breeds conflict, and conflict underlies all social relations. d) those with power express their will over those without power.

The correct answer is letter A

For symbolic interaction there is a conception of society as a process, of the individual and of society as closely interrelated, in this school we can mention names like George Herbert Mead, W. I. Thomas and Charles Horton Cooley.

Mead did not publish a complete and systematic work on his theory. His system of social psychology, however, is presented in full form in Mind, Self and Society, one of the most important and influential books in the area of symbolic interaction, where the author explores not only the complex relationship between society and the individual, as he exposes the genesis of the self, the development of significant symbols and the process of behavior of the mind.

For Mead, all group activity is based on cooperative behavior, the cooperative behavior of insects for example, is physiologically determined without their patterns of association changing even over many generations, while human cooperation, with its diversity of patterns, it attests that physiological factors cannot explain it.
