Many people would agree that the world is somewhat, if not completely, constructed. Given the many conflicting ideas, perspectives, and versions of truth, some may conclude that there is no objective reality. Radical constructivists believe that individuals construct their own version of reality through cognitive processes. However, I think there are other ways for knowledge to be constructed. Groups of people can construct aspects of their reality. There are many social institutions that have been constructed by humanity as a whole, not just one individual person. These social constructs do not, however, reflect any objective reality. This is similar to radical constructivism because the knowledge and ideas constructed do not reflect any empirical data. What is the relationship between social constructs and cognitive constructs of knowledge?
