This is the foundation of the __________ on the family as a social institution.

Answer 1

The answer is symbolic interactionist theory.

Step-by-step explanation:

This theory focuses on people's interaction in society, and states that we make sense of the world through language and symbols. That means we interpret things based on what we observe from others.

If, for example, you love playing soccer, this theory would assume that you learned about the importance of sports throughout your life; maybe you used to played soccer with your family and friends, or had meetings in which sports were a common topic and conversation.
