My View of Social Constuction of Reality

I see social construction of reality as a way to describe when talking about different topics without saying that the way you feel is either right or wrong. It's a way to say that this is what I see or was taught about different issues. It can consist of what you believe, what you see around you, or what you have heard. It's how society effects us all that give us the ability to have a view of social contruction of reality.

What is society to me?

In my opinion it is a way to describe a group of people and/or their surroundings. It is the interacting between people and their environment and how that environment affects them which why people behave the way. Another way to describe people's culture differences, beliefs and moral in life. People dealing with different types of personality, characteristics , conditions, climate and etc.

The Lil Jimmy Court Case

This court case was very typical of what lots of Forster children go through everyday. They have to go from Forster home to Forster home hoping to be accepted and adopted by the Forster parents that they are assign to. For many it's a on going cycle because they are sometimes consider a problem child which makes they process longer for that child. I think that it very unfair to the child and that's why most Forster children may act they way because of what they have been going through in their life. Then it does help when they get stuck with bad Forster parents who are only doing it because they want the money. Personally i dated a guy who had Forster parents who treated him like an animal and it left to the point where he couldn't wait to be 18 years old so that he could be on his own. They would do things like he couldn't eat their food in the house unless he paid them for it. So image the days when his little job's paycheck ran out he would have to suffer and try and sneak food when they were home through his Forster brother and sister who sometimes thought it was funny.

I believe that in this court case Jimmy should go to the couple Stan and Dan even though on my beliefs about their relationship I would not approve. I know that if I were a jury member in a case like this I would really have to set aside my morals in life to make sure that the child gets what is the best for him which I believe is stability. Personally I am still against the idea of same sex couples because I believe that it is unlike God and what he wants for our lives. I always say the saying "God made Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve" meaning that if he was okay with same sex being together he would have made it like that from the start. I don't think that in the near future I would change my mind on how I feel about these issue and I don't feel like I should accepted just because I see it everyday surrounding me. I have learned from my family to be me no matter what is going on around and to follow what my heart tell me not because everybody else is doing it either.
