theory of social constructivism
Social constructivism is the idea that many aspects of our understanding of the world—such as beliefs, norms, and categories—are created through social interactions and shared understandings rather than existing as natural or fixed truths. It emphasizes that our knowledge is shaped by cultural, historical, and social contexts, meaning what we consider "real" or "true" is largely influenced by collective agreement and communication. This perspective highlights the importance of human relationships and societal influences in shaping our perceptions and knowledge.
