Each day we see many different symbols that mean different things to us and we interpret them in different ways. This is symbolic interactionism.


For many of us when we see the big blue "W" during the spring time, or baseball time, we can take a guess that the Cubs just won a game. This one letter can shape people to become who they are and how they live. This may just be a letter but it is also a sign of winning or success to Chicago baseball fans. As baseball season moves along the more big "W" flags we see the happier we get, but then there are some people that don't like the Cubs and see the "W" as something negative.

In this generation, symbolic interactionism can mean almost anything. We are all different and unique and see things through different eyes..
