Social interaction plays a significant role in the process of producing and reproducing culture. Through social interactions, individuals become enmeshed in the cultural norms of one's social group and develop a mutually shared sense of identity. Humans, according to the symbolic interactionists, interpret the social world, actively ascribe meanings to their social life, and learn shared attitudes and values from their social environment through their social encounters.
