Abstract

All humans are created equal and have the ability of agency according to Locke. The experimentalist perspective also advocates an extensive degree of personal agency and responsibility to sustain equality throughout life (Steven's, 1996a, p.195-201). However, the social constructionists believe in a more deterministic and constraining world. Psychologists such as Mead and Vygotsky argue that external influences along with integration of the individual plays a major part in constructing 'social norms', social roles and society itself (Wetherell and Maybin, 1996, p.248-253). Social norms are shared ways of perceiving the world and guide our actions within a particular culture (Radley, 1996, p.27). Shared feelings, personal relationships, and social interaction are central influences in the construction of social norms (Miell and Dallos 1996, p.3).
