Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The story fits the Symbolic Interactionism paradigm because it focuses on how individuals use symbols (in this case, ribbons, bows, and frills) to create meaning and communicate their identity (in this case, the gender of the baby) to others. This approach emphasizes the social meanings and understandings that are created and maintained through interpersonal interaction.
