Symbolic interactionism emphasizes the role of symbols and language as core elements of all human interaction. Without symbols, coordinating actions with others would be incredibly difficult, our social relations would indeed be much more basic and akin to those observed in non-human animals, and the creation and use of books, which rely on the complex symbol systems of language, would not be possible.
