Which of the following sociological theories best explains this statement: "Mass media can be an effective means of communication and can contribute to the development of an informed society."
symbolic interactionism
structural functionalism
social conflict theory
Sapir Whorf hypothesis

The correct answer is symbolic interactionism

Symbolic interactionism can be considered an unfinished theoretical and methodological perspective, which emerged, in the 1930s, within the scope of American sociology, at the initiative of the sociologist Herbert Blumer (1900-1987), a member of the Chicago School of Sociology.

The focus of symbolic interactionism focuses, precisely, on the processes of social interaction - which occur between individuals or groups - mediated by symbolic relationships.
