Document Summary
Ap sosc 1210 human rights in a socio-legal context. In the physical world, an idea for an imaginary cause, can"t have a real affect. But human beings aren"t holding constraint by the physical laws of nature. So things that people imagine, if they act upon them, can have real consequences. This is the process that social scientists call the social construction of reality - means individuals, groups and societies, tend to place interpretations on reality, on what goes on around them. These are interpretations that may or not be true in an absolute sense. These interpretations and explanations, and de nitions, are all instructive to help us make sense of the things and events that we experience. And in effect, we use them as our guidelines to respond to our experiences. However these social constructions, they may very well be based on assumption, or on value judgements that tend to be quite generally the ideas of the day.
