Answer:

Functionalists and conflict theorists tend to focus on society in general or on groups within society. However, some sociologists adopt an interactionist perspective. They focus on how individuals interact with one another in society. These sociologists are interested in the ways in which individuals respond to one another in everyday situations. They are also interested in the meanings that individuals attach to their own actions and to the actions of others.
