A framework asserting that what we take as reality is a construct—a product of human practices, language, and social agreements. This doesn’t mean reality is “fake” but that our access to it and its meaning are always mediated by construction. The theory encompasses social constructionism, symbolic interactionism, and phenomenological constructionism. It explains why different communities can have different “realities” while still living in the same physical world: they’ve constructed different meaning systems, institutions, and ways of engaging.
