Social constructionist perspective

This particular perspective puts the most emphasis on the importance of context as well as culture and understanding what occurs in society as well as getting knowledge about the society.

The author speaks of building "worlds" through communication and that statement is absolutely true. There are so many different cultures and languages and by gaining common ground with people from different cultures, we build relationships which in turn helps make the planet better by making business deals and having people connect with each other.

The best example of different languages in different cultures would be the teenagers and the language of "slang." A kid in Boston speaks English just like I do, but he/she will recite some of their slang, and I might not know a word they just said, where as I might do the same and they might or might not understand me. Another example would be my father and how he uses different type of language in different type of situations. When he is in situations that need focus and his undivided attention, he can come off as very strict to a point where he should teach military, but when one gets to know him outside of his professional realm, he is very charismatic and very open to new ideas and or things.

The only thing I will have to disagree with in this view is that the author said that our life is shaped through world communication, and not our life experiences. Personally, everything that I have experienced good and bad has directly shaped who I am. Yes, communication had a big part in terms of knowing how and when to communicate to different people and in different situations, but the life experiences that a person goes through is something that shapes him/her.

In addition to that, in United States people are though that it's perfectly okay to question authority and if one doesn't, he/she is lacking a skill. In a continent like Europe, younger generation especially is thought not to ever question authority, but rather try to work together towards achieving whatever that might be.
