Social Construction

We have read about how social construction can be negative by developing the issues that go along with words like "freak" and "race." However, social construction is a fundamental part of society. It teaches us gender roles, the correct ways to act in certain settings, and how to make sense of the world around us. Would the world be a better place if we didn't have social construction or stereotypes? How would people with disabilities get help if it was socially wrong for people to acknowledge their differences?
