Social constructionism: Difference between revisions

Scientific consensus rejects any hard-line nature vs. nuture stance, including Lockianism, strong and weak social constructionism and [[biological essentialism]] respectively, but it leans towards nature. Most human behaviour is biologically rather than socially determined, e.g. humans have cross-culturally the same facial expressions for the most part. But obviously they are also malleable to some extent, e.g. humans become smarter attending to school, but their ''potential'' is largely predetermined. Scientific theories like mathematics are thought to be objectively true and be independent of culture.
