What is a social construct?

521 views

I don’t understand how so many people seem to understand the concept just fine. It sounds oddly complicated to me. The concept to me sounds like collectively concluded delusion or like if society collectively concludes something to be objectively real, that means it’s objectively real. Maybe I’m not understanding correctly?

Games and sports are social constructs. They are not real in any sense except in relationship with human society. Do you consider football real?

How do we, as a society decide, what is and isn’t a sandwich? You see, the idea of a sandwich is also a social construct. Do you think sandwiches are real?
