How does symbolic interactionist theory build on labeling theory? Please explain

What will be an ideal response?


Answers may include the following points:
Symbolic interactionist theory builds on labeling theory and has identified the locus of social control within the process of taking the role of the other and within the process of linking with the broader social organization through role commitments, generalized others, and reference groups. Labeling theory, on the other hand, emphasizes the symbolic nature of the "deviant" label once it has been applied.
