Summary
Decoding Society: The Construction of Social Reality
This concise exploration delves into the fascinating process of how we, as individuals and as a collective, build our social reality from the raw materials of our sensory experiences. Discover how we transform simple sense impressions – like the sight and feel of a printed piece of paper – into complex social constructs, such as a “five-pound note,” imbued with value and profound social meaning.
