Definitions from the Web

Social Construct

Definition: A social construct refers to an idea or concept that is created and maintained by society, rather than being inherent in nature. It is a product of human interaction and interpretation, shaping our understanding of reality and influencing social behavior.

Examples:

  • Noun: In many cultures, gender is considered a social construct, as it varies across societies and can change over time.
  • Noun: Race is often debated as a social construct, as it is determined by social and cultural factors rather than biological differences.
  • Verb: Society constructs social norms and expectations that influence our behaviors and interactions.
  • Adjective: Our perception of beauty is largely influenced by social constructs, such as media representations and societal standards.
