“The Social Construction of Reality by Peter L. Berger and Thomas Lockman (1967)

Constructible Frames of Referential Perspective

Constructive Constitution As C. Wright Mills noted in his book, 'The Sociological Imagination': "Individuals, in the welter of their daily experience, often become falsely conscious of their social positions. Within that welter, the framework of modern society is sought, and within that framework the psychologies of a variety of men and women are formulated." Of course, we now understand the extent to which the Social Construction of Reality affects us. This is a great cause for hope, for Construction is a modifiable pursuit. Fluid Machinery of Sociological Transformation As we have seen in Philosophy and Psychology; Perspectives, Frames of Reference, States and Doylies (the nuts-and-bolts of pattern building Mindsets) are able to be worked with and Transformed; that they often are left-overs and no longer suit the needs of the Citizen in the achievement of her goals or the satisfaction of his Beliefs, but can be up-dated and changed to work Beneficially and far more Efficiently (and Effectively). So It is the same with these Perceptions, Mindsets and Pattern States of the Sociological Doylies. The task is to determine the workings, the Social Machinery, and the manner of Harmonious Workings in the Fluidity of Transformation. Personal and Historical Biographies Mills goes on to say that every individual lives out a historical biography and that he/she contributes to the shaping of Society and his/her moment in History by the very fact of living within and being a part of it. These are the same Concepts applied by Jungians to the Journey of the Soul in the Development of its Character within the Context of its Plot and sub-plot. The Sociological Imagination applies this a little grander at the Collective scale. Creative Intrapersonal Illumination We have come a long way in Jungian Archetype and the Hero's Journey; Transpersonal Psychology; and the 'Mechanics' of Personal Success and Happiness. We are now upon the threshold of a new and exciting Frontier of Creative Sociological Illumination which stands ready to cheer the Hearts of all Mankind, bringing Joy and Satisfaction into our very Future.

I love how Jennifer Lober describes the female and male. How we automatically believe in a certain standard of life. I related to when she wrote about a person trying to characterize the baby whether if it was a girl or a boy. We are taught to do certain things according to what people have told us when we were younger, what society would expect from that sex, or social class. We all seem to judge each other until we have an exact answer of what or who we classify ourselves as.

As I was scrolling through Facebook a little while after our new president’s inauguration day, I found this video showing a deaf man signing his experience of President Trump’s inauguration. He explains that deaf Trump supporters went to his inauguration only to find that no interpreters were present in order to accommodate for those who could not hear. The man explains that the absence of interpreters is the same thing as saying “F**K” to the deaf community. Below the video, there is a caption saying “Now, I wasn’t there, but I was told that they may have had interpreters – no one has confirmed this yet though – but if they did, the interpreters were not on the stage, nor were on the TV screen”. Regardless of whether the man or interpreters were physically present during the inauguration, the fact that interpreters were not visible to him or his friends is discriminatory towards the Deaf community.  In her article The Social Construction of Disability, Susan Wendell explains that disability can’t only be explained in biomedical terms, but also by social arrangements and expectations. She develops the idea that disability is created by social conditions, such as wars, violence such as beatings or rape, living environments, etc. It is also created by the pace of life, which is adapted to the young and healthy, but the people who cannot follow that pace become disabled. She says:  “Societies that are physically constructed and socially organized with the unacknowledged assumption that everyone is healthy, non-disabled, young but adult, shaped according to cultural ideas, and, often, male, create a great deal of disability through sheer neglect of what most people need in order to participate fully in them” (Wendell, 2013, p 50). In the case of the deaf community, they needed interpreters for President Trump’s inauguration and were made disabled because of the lack of accommodations.  Without interpreters, the Deaf confirm cultural stereotypes of people with disabilities, defined by Susan Wendell as they “cannot perform or are expected not to perform” (Wendell, 2013, p 51). Without accommodations, people who have mental or physical limitations cannot perform, and so they cannot follow the pace of life that Susan Wendell mentions in her article. Consequently, because society will not adapt to people who are not “the young or healthy” (Wendell, 2013, p 50), they are made disabled, and they confirm stereotypes and assumptions made by “the young and healthy” people. In this case, because interpreters were not easily accessible to the Deaf, the Deaf were incapable of fully experiencing our new president’s inauguration. They were made disabled by society’s lack of accommodations.
