According to symbolic interactionism, the way we see ourselves and our identities comes from a few key things:
Symbols: These are everyday things like objects, words, and gestures that mean something special to us. If we misunderstand these symbols, it can cause problems with how we see ourselves.
Interactions: These are the ways we connect with others. Our social interactions help us figure out who we are. Problems can pop up when people face judgment from others or when they don’t have supportive people around them.
Miscommunication: People from different cultures may have different ideas about what symbols mean. This can lead to misunderstandings.
Social Isolation: When people don’t interact much with others, it can be hard for them to develop their identity.
Education: We should teach people about different symbols and what they mean. This can help everyone understand each other better.
Community Engagement: Creating spaces where people can talk openly and feel accepted is important. This helps build supportive environments where everyone can grow.
