Symbolic interactionists believe that culture is actively created through ongoing interactions between people. This means that individuals and groups are constantly negotiating and creating shared meanings, symbols, and practices that define their culture. The focus is on how people interpret and give meaning to cultural objects and practices, rather than on the objective properties of cultural phenomena.
