CH 2: Social Constructionist Perspective

3. Consider the social constructionist perspective. How do we “build worlds” through communication? Think of some ideas we talk about in our culture that may not exist in other cultures. How do these concepts contribute to our happiness or success (of the lack of these) in our culture?

Communication is the key to building a world and the many different cultures in our world. We have the ability to build worlds by expressing the importance of each other’s cultures and the positive and negative effects we make as one world. Communication both verbal and nonverbal has allowed us to see our past and look towards our future. For example, the growth of women holding high management position in larger corporate companies. The US is one area of the world that has seen this social change and have adapted well to the change of the many years. Our culture now in the US sees women as having a choice to be stay-home mother/women or be working mother/women. I believe this growth has allowed our world to grow in a positive direction, which includes women to have more of a corporate role in our country. Having a choice in any culture may encourage more open communication within that culture and a possible better understand of multiple cultures.

Hope you had an awesome weekend!
