Which symbolic interaction principle helps to explain Malcolm's behavior toward Ginny?
When Malcolm started working at the local print shop, he got along with everyone. He was a supervisor but always tried to stay friends with the people who worked for him. Soon after joining the shop, a new supervisor, Ginny, was hired to manage the shipping department. One day Malcolm heard Ginny use a racial slur. Then Malcolm started noticing other things about her behavior. He noticed that Ginny would eat only with people of her own race and gender, for that matter. He heard her make another racist remark. He ignored her as best he could, sharing his concerns with coworkers and questioning whether a racist should be managing other people. Malcolm discussed Ginny's behavior with his supervisor but she did not see enough evidence of racism to do anything about it. A) Meanings arise through social interaction among individuals.
