Focuses on the interaction between people
We learn the meaning of symbols from how we see others reacting to the symbol
We then base our behavior on the signals We use the meaning of symbols to
imagine how others will respond to our behavior
E.g. Burping after a meal is considered rude in the US but in other countries it is a compliment to the cook
In the US, we stand & face the flag during the national anthem
