Guiding Inquiry: How might someones experience and access to the environment depend on societal standards?

Guiding Thought Question: Take some time to do some independent searching on the internet to find out what are "societal constructs" and what impact do they have on individuals' role in societies.

Today's Learning Objective: Students will be able to define different terms related to societal separations and the idiosyncratic differences between their usages by completing a vocabulary activity and discussion.

social constructs are ideas that are created and accepted by people in society, according to merriam-webster. so the idea of a social class system is a social construct. they affect how people view themselves and others in society and allow people to make quick judgements based on where someone might fall in a social construct

Social constructs are things that are made up by society that are just considered the norm. For example the female role in the household in the 50's was a social construct. Was there a reason women had to do all of those things outside of just being told that is what a women is supposed to do? No. Therefore it is made up by society. This can impact how people interact with the world because people are always trying to fit into what society considers normal. Some people focus their existence on breaking these societal norms and that is cool too.

Societal constructs are different ideas that are made by people based on something that happens often. For example blue is for boys and pink is for girls. It can really effect people because if they do not follow the social constructs then they feel out-casted and alone.

I feel like social constructs impact us negatively because it makes people believe they have to be a certain way to be accepted in their social life like at school you have to dress a certain way and with friends sometimes you have to act a certain way and you can't just be yourself

It plays deeply into conforming into what everyone else is doing but on a more widespread level. So its all made up but everyone plays into it because people like them are as well

The definition i found of a A social construct, states " A social construct is something that exists not in objective reality, but as a result of human interaction." An example shown was a country
Social construct can have a damaging effect on the people subject to these constructs. These people feel obligated to conform to these roles, as that is what society has told them to do in order to be accepted by others.

Social constructs are ideas that people form and accept as a way of society. They play a large role in how poeople perceive others and ways of life. They play a role in conforming society but also dividing people into “constructs.”

Social constructionism is a theory of knowledge in sociology and communication theory that examines the development of jointly-constructed understandings of the world that form the basis for shared assumptions about reality. it can change how people act around others and it can shift their thoughts.

"Simply put, social constructs do not have inherent meaning. The only meaning they have is the meaning given to them by people. For example, the idea that pink is for girls and blue is for boys is an example of a social construct related to gender and the color of items."

Simply put, it's facts that aren't true, but we've come to believe that they are.

Societal constructs are the normal or accepted behaviors and roles in a community. Money is a societal construct because it is the members of society that assign value to the currency.

Social Constructs are something that is basically made up by human interaction. Money is given value because people have gave it that value. Countries have been made because humans have agreed that this specific area is a country. This can have people begin to change what they think. People will also change how they act around each other.

Social constructs are basically values that people put on objects or ideas due to the shared ways of thinking those people have. This impacts people's opinion about something or someone, and can also give the object a value, like money.

Social constructs are ideas that are created and accepted by people in society, kind of like society "norms" or "trends" which kids will follow to be accepted.
