Constructionism follows the ideals that various faccets and parameter
of our identities dont have actual meaning bsides a societal underting to have meaning? Does that make sense? Our identity is socially materialize, it is a mechanical process that fits different meaning for different statues. Faccets such as race, class, gender, and sexuality are all socially constuted to have some foregoing meaning that isnt anything but the result of social participation and a scoity saying that these identity markers should have meaning. Social construction implies that none of these meaning are absolute and in fact that these identity statuses are constantly changing to reflect the overall nature or understanding of societies perception of these markers. Al oof these parameters socially constructed and presented differently in society, howver when these identitiy markers intersect, and these socially imposed notions that follow these markers merge with one another .. not sure. Intersectionality implies that no one persons experience is the same as another, instead our experiences are divided by our idnentity markers wether it be sexuality, gender, class,, race, these markers take on different meanings and alluds to different experiences as there intersect and overlap with one another. It is important to note that though these markers are socially constructed phenomenons that their intersections are also socially constructed in the same fashion. In a society where the superior race is white and the most rewarded gender is man, black women are doublely burden by these constructed notions of hierarchy. Constructionism follows the pradigm that various facets and parameters of ones identify resides on fictitious principles. And then materialize as context bearing This implies that the boarders that govern these seemingly rigid identity statues are not fictional Our experencies as participants in this social sphere are shaped by a societal understanding of these values Structured along societal implications Only by the reluctancy of its participents Therefore ones understanding of self , is developed through a circulartory participation
Whether it be race, class, sexuality, gender, or a combination of these
markers, our livelihood is transcribed through the various meanings attached to each. The docile damsel, which is built upon the inputs of black women supporting black men, is a staple among black films. This depiction of black women is ascribed more to sentiment and humanity than the sex object archetype, dog-like loyalty exists as one of the defining characteristics of the docile damsel illustration.
