Socio-cultural lens focuses on society and culture, the relational self, interconnectivity, how childhood is not universal. It"s a contextual (the circumstances that occur) way of viewing young people. By friend groups, by race, class, boarders and boundaries. How we make meaning in the society we live in. There is no one way of viewing childhood. Explores links between society, culture and things such as identity, power, privilege, and oppression.
