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]]. Human behaviour is mostly biologically rather than socially determined, e.g. humans have cross-culturally the same facial expressions for the most part. But obviously, humans 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, independent of culture.
