The Social Construction of Reality

The canonical account of the feedback loop our Canvas describes: we externalise culture, it hardens into an apparently independent reality, and we internalise it again as the way things are. “Society is a human product. Society is an objective reality. Man is a social product.” Cited on the Canvas page as the loop’s warrant — companion to enculturation, not a replacement for it.
