constructed reality

Constructed reality refers to the idea that our perception of the world is shaped by social, cultural, and personal influences rather than solely by objective facts. It suggests that what we consider "reality" is influenced by language, beliefs, and shared understandings within a society. For example, concepts like money or race are social constructs—they have meaning because societies agree upon them, even though they may lack physical existence or biological basis. This perspective highlights that much of our experience is influenced by human-created frameworks, which shape how we interpret and interact with the world around us.
