Solution

The answer is D (or the fourth one): all of the above.

Explanation: a) We act toward ideas, concepts, and values based on the meanings assigned to them: This statement aligns with the core principle of symbolic interactionism, which posits that human actions are based on the meanings that things have for them.

b) Meanings are products of social interaction: This is another fundamental aspect of symbolic interactionism. It suggests that meanings are not inherent in objects or concepts but are created and modified through social interactions.

c) Meanings are modified and filtered through interpretation: This statement reflects the idea that individuals interpret and reinterpret meanings based on their experiences and interactions, which is a key component of symbolic interactionism.

Since all three statements accurately describe aspects of symbolic interactionism, the correct answer is D: all of the above.
