The people in our lives, family, friends, employers, teachers, and so on, influence us to conform to expectations and not to deviate from the norm. They are considered?
They are considered as symbols used to establish meaning.
Explanation:
Most of the time, people come to know about good and bad behavior through how society reacts to certain kinds of behaviors of other people around them.
In some other cases, the restrictions put by others make one understand what is good behavior and what is not.
Clearly, it is the people around us that help us understand the difference between good and bad through their own behavior. Thus, they are conventionally considered as symbols that establish meaning.
