SORU:

What is Symbolic interactionism? Who is considered to be the founder of this approach?


CEVAP:

Symbolic interactionism is a sociological approach closely related to social psychology in American sociology. According to symbolic interactionism, society is the product of individuals’ symbolic interactions in social life. George Herbert Mead (1863-1931) is considered to be the founder of this approach. His ideas were later elaborated by his colleagues and students after his death. At this point, Herbert Blumer is also thought to be one of the founders of this approach since his works also contributed a lot to the development of symbolic interactionism.
