~social construct~

TODAY in SA 21 i learned about:

Social Construction of reality
-there is no such thing as a reality that exist before a social interaction;
reality is created by people interacting with one another;
our concept of reality is really nothing but a social construct we made up to
assign definitive limits to ourselves in order to maintain the specific
arrangements we have also made

Goffman's theory
-that people view their lives as a stage performance where the world is the
stage and the people around them the audience;
it is by this theory that we can explain the dual personalities people seem
to have and can justify the concept of lying or pretending


------------------------------

if you got A's or B's in almost all your minors
but got C's or D's or worse F's in your majors
what does that tell you?
you don't need to be a genius in order to figure that out
you just have to have the heart to accept the reality of it

i know
damn it
ROLE STRAIN AND ROLE CONFLICT
activating
arghh
