Expert's answer
Symbolic interaction is a theory that explains the relationships among individuals within a given society
Humans interact with things based on meanings ascribed to those things. The ascribed meaning is derived from our interactions with others and society.
Also the meanings of things are interpreted by a person especially when dealing with things in certain curcumstances.For example when you like swimming it helps you to interact with family and friends.
