The construction of reality

The construction of reality refers to how our perceptions, beliefs, and social interactions shape our understanding of the world. Our minds interpret sensory information and combine it with personal experiences, cultural norms, and language to create a coherent picture of reality. This process is influenced by our biases and social context, meaning different people may perceive the same event differently. Essentially, reality is not just an objective external fact but a shared, constructed experience influenced by individual consciousness and societal constructs.
