social constructionist perspective

Good Afternoon class


I am going to talk about the social constructionist perspective.


In the perspective of the social constructionist, worlds are built through communication. How we view our world, our beliefs, knowledge and perspective, comes from what we hear from people in our culture rather than direct experience. But everybody is not raised and taught all the same thing so people will have different view points on many situations. For example, in the bible days many people did not believe that Jesus was the messiah and that he could perform miracles, but after he was crucified and rose from the dead three days later, many people started to believe.


One idea that we discuss in our culture that may not be discussed in others is that having a stabilized government is very necessary. Our government basically gives us rules and regulations that keeps our country organized and well put versus Mexico whose government is ran by drug lords so everything is chaotic out there. Having a stabilized government is making our country a safer place where we all can live great lives have a great chance of becoming very successful ourselves. Yes our country is not perfect or 100% safe, but at least it is stabilized.
