Narrative construction of reality

Narrative construction of reality refers to how stories shape our understanding of the world. It's the idea that we make sense of experiences and information by organizing them into narratives—coherent accounts with a beginning, middle, and end. These narratives influence our beliefs, values, and perceptions, helping us interpret events and the behavior of others. In a broader context, the media, culture, and personal experiences all contribute to the narratives we accept as "reality," impacting our knowledge and interpretations of society and the world around us.
