Document Summary
The encyclopedia of social science is an alright source to use for the terms (for this tutorial) Constructionism is an important term for the social sciences. The construction of reality varies based upon what subculture you are from. No preference -> choose which one you want (whatever works best for you) At the end of each term you could say why it is related to something ( this term is related to this ) Realism and social actors -> a version of participant observation; society is a way of us and our family doing specific things in society. Social settings are reproduced by people under the context of what is expected of them. Constructionism vs social facts -> they are related to objections and subjects; it is the static vs the more dynamic (constructionism) part. What is pregive vs what is remade -> what is the process of changing social structure (ex = cheerleaders, basket players; cliche culture)
