If we killed everyone that ever used the term "
social construct" as a way of making a point, the world would be a better place.
[/ QUOTE ]No, we would actually become so dumb that we would probably not even get the chance to start all over again with Man's scientific and philosophical quests. We would kill each other pretty quickly.
Very briefly : Social constructs are the strongest factor hlding together and defining human societies. It's not even close to anything else.
There is extensive bibliography on the matter. One would start with Plato, of course, but why not cut to the
chase ?
