  13. Gary,

  15. my def. of "social construction" suggest that nothing in the social world is
  16. natural.... that through communiities, institutions, language, etc. the
  17. social world is constructed..... Berger's book on the social construction of
  18. knowledge is a good one to begin with.... the question is: Who benefits from
  19. the way things are? and How do the stay the same or change?
  20.  
  21. does that help?
