CONSTRUCȚIA SOCIALĂ A REALITĂȚII
THE SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF REALITY

Summary/Abstract: Defining reality and the mechanisms people use to perceive it is a difficult and challenging task in this age of post-truth, where everything is relative, interpretable and dynamic, without generally accepted norms. However, there is a close relationship between the individual and the social environment. This binomial is a construction that integrates the human mind, body, spirit and environment. The continuous interaction between the individual and the social environment creates the reality that manifests itself as a continuous process of coding and decoding. The way we interpret a situation determines the consequences of our actions and even the way things can evolve, so starting from the wrong premises, from a wrong interpretation of a situation, people behave accordingly. Therefore in this paper I shall review the main aspects of the social construction of reality starting with the way the representation of the individual about the environment, society, world is formed from the perspective of neuroscience, social psychology, cognitive sociology.
