As a symbolic interactionist thinker explaining the concept of "meaning" from your perspective, you would argue that:
A) Interaction is based on the social meanings of symbols and stable patterns of social interaction. These social meanings are independent of the individuals in that society and thus are unchangeable.
B) Interaction is based on shared meanings of a social structure and patterns of social interaction that are carried forward from past generations and objectively held. Our accepted social meanings then are independent of our own individual needs and desires.
C) Interaction is based on the meanings society has for all of the different social structures and their relation to each other. Through these social structures individuals develop shared social meanings that guide their behaviour and shape their belief system.
D) Interaction is based on the social meanings of symbols, and stable patterns of social interaction. Through day-to-day interaction with each other we have the ability to renegotiate social meanings to a certain extent based on our own subjective understanding.
