Which basic principle of symbolic interaction outlines how we can only learn the abstract meaning of symbols through our interactions with others?

A) Thinking and Interaction
B) Learning Meanings and Symbols
C) Action and Interaction
D) Making Choices

The basic principle of symbolic interaction known as "Learning Meanings and Symbols" explains that we can only learn the abstract meanings of symbols through interactions with others. This principle emphasizes that our understanding of symbols arises from social context and shared cultural experiences. Option A, "Thinking and Interaction," emphasizes the importance of thought processes in shaping our social interactions, but does not directly relate to the learning of symbolic meanings. Option C, "Action and Interaction," emphasizes the role of action and behavior in shaping social interactions, but again does not directly relate to learning symbolic meanings. Option D, "Making Choices," is not directly related to the learning of symbolic meanings, but may relate to the process of choosing which symbols to use or interpret in a given social context.
