The theory of the social construction of reality is a sociological perspective that suggests that reality is not an objective, inherent quality of the world, but rather a product of human social interactions. This perspective argues that individuals and societies actively create and shape their understanding of reality through shared meanings, symbols, and language.
The concept is often associated with the work of sociologists Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann, who outlined their ideas in the influential book "The Social Construction of Reality" published in 1966. The central idea is that reality is not something that exists independently of human perception and interaction; instead, it is constructed by individuals and groups through their everyday activities and social processes.
