Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
5 pages in length. When sociologists speak about social construction of reality, it can readily be argued that their meaning is attributed to the aftermath of man’s action when associated with social conduct. The vast importance of this concept helps one to effectively determine what is to be expected in any given social situation, particularly when applying W.I. Thomas’ statement: "If men define a situation as real it is real in its consequences." In essence, Thomas is merely pointing out that reality is based solely upon the consequences of one’s actions, which are in turn what ultimately shape one’s reality. The writer discusses how the significance of such philosophy greatly lends itself to the study of human and social behavior, in that without prior understanding of how reality is perceived, there would be little if any ability to comprehend one’s existence at all. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
