| REZUMAT: |
Human beings are in a constant process of dialogue with the
world around them, so the individual and society are very closely
interlinked, and influence one another mutually. Society
provides the lens through which its members view and interpret
the world, so knowledge is rooted in social interaction. We
construct our own realities through language, through exchanges
with others (Freedman, 1996). This means that ideas, concepts
and memories arise from social exchanges and are channelled by
language, and that individuals can only develop a sense of
identity through continuous exchanges with others. |
