Symbolic Interactionism is anything you attach meaning to, to communicate and understand the world and one another. Everything is a symbol in one way or another. An engagement ring signifies life long love. It could mean so many different things to different people depending on perspective. Years ago it was completly immoral, immature, and not easy to get a divorce. Today it happens every day and nobody thinks twice about it anymore. More recently marriage became based on personality and compatibility rather than being arranged. Over time symbols start to mean different things depending on culture and perspective, so something like a ring will always have different meaning according to symbolic interactionism.
