3). Pick one concept from the assigned reading that you found useful or interesting and discuss it. 


I thought that the Social Constructionist Model was very interesting. The idea that people don’t experience the world directly rather take parts of our culture, connect them to “facts”, and respond to them in ways our culture finds significant. I also thought that the social constructionist model might be a a term to take serious because, according to the term, people accept cultural myths and stereotypes without thinking. This is why the book criticizes hoe the model puts too much emphasis on the social self and not enough on the individual self. This term was the most interesting from the chapter and I enjoyed reading about it.
