Culture changes the perspective in what each person sees when looking at a simple object. 3 ways to get a social construction of reality. Historical point of view - look at change in economy that changes people in society. Individual - people going place to place where there is a social interaction in certain areas( bus, school, restaurant & family) in competition with each other. Individuation- aspects of a society nearly perfect, that creates a social construction of all beliefs . People stick to the culture environment, will not independently leave the comfort of home( society) Society is not a result of natural beings, how did we create this social structure.
