Unfortunately i havent posted for about a week now, and i apologize for that, but fear not.
Today i will be talking about social construct. Dictionary.com defines social construct as:
a social mechanism, phenomenon, or category created and developed by society; a perception of an individual, group, or idea that is 'constructed' through cultural or social practice.
Social construct basically means what society is based upon. Let me give you an example. You are a blogger, because i call you a blogger. Because anyone on the internet reading my opinions is called a blogger.
A train is a train because i call it a train.
So what i would like for you to think today, is that has everything around us been constructed by ourselves? Have we in fact constructed faith, the government, everything basically?
Some food for thought- If there are enough people on the planet that would say that I, the writer of this blog, can fly, will you actually start to believe that i can fly?
Then comes the point when i start to question the truth about everything around me. Somewhat, becoming paranoid. The questions i ask myself are- Has man really been on the moon? Is there really a god? Are there UFO's, Alians, Ghosts?
So what do you feel? Is everything around us a social construct?
Do comment below. I wait for your response eagerly.
Signing off,
Just another Singaporean
