What is the focus of symbolic interactionism?

Macro-level forces
Social structures
Social change
Social interaction

The correct answer is: Social interaction

Symbolic interactionism is a sociological perspective that focuses on how individuals interpret and create meaning through their interactions with others. It is concerned with the micro-level, everyday interactions between people, rather than the larger societal structures (option B) or macro-level forces (option A). While social change (option C) can be a result of these interactions, it is not the primary focus of symbolic interactionism. Therefore, the correct answer is D Social interaction.
