1) Meaning
People act and behave towards other people based on the meaning they have given to them.Also social events acquire their value bases on the meaning associated with the symbols found in that event.for example,wedding is associated with love.
2)Language
Naming is assigned through language and the name creates a meaning to an object.The name indicate a feature and knowledge about an object.
3)Thought
This implies interpretations that we have assigned to symbols. The symbols used in human interaction may not be the same from one community to another. Thus there is need to help others understand the symbols and to interpret them.
