Abstract :Individuals, in the process of establishing a meaningful world, create communicating and interacting socially. As Symbolic Interactionists underline, free individuals with free will continue their lives by adapting to the order, in a sense, as imitators of the resources they interact with in the social order. Based on these theories, communication experts and sociologists are expected to realistically evaluate the meanings and consequences created by symbols so that people can live meaningful lives in the interaction processes that individuals are exposed to in society. According to the symbolic interactionist approach, what others think about us represents a process that directly affects who we are. In terms of symbolic interactionism, daily life constitutes one of the most important social elements that should be examined as the area of use of common symbols and language that reveal meaning. This study aims to address the concept of symbolic interaction in order to emphasize the importance of how symbols in culture and many social areas in society, from sports to music, from art to literature, from media to social media, interact with individuals and how similar behaviors become widespread. In the research, document review and qualitative data collection methods were used through symbols.
