There are a few rather popular theories of social development. The first being the One Big Society Theory. It focuses on the common purpose and human relationships that people have within society. According to this theory, people are a group of people with a shared culture and value system which can be used to build up the whole. However, this theory is not universally accepted because it relies on a handful of principles that don’t seem to apply to all cultures.
In the present age of information and communications technology (ICT), the majority of major systems, events and events that occur in our lives are constantly dependent on a mechanism that is social construction of technology. Social construction has been used throughout history to describe how cultures adapt to new technologies, making them more effective and efficient in their use.
The technology revolution has done a number of things that most of us are still reeling from: technology is destroying the meaning of work and according to social theorists, we use technology to create new identities and ideas that are socially constructed. Social constructionists call these processes “the process of creating new identities and values.” This article will discuss how technology, issues with the construction of identity, and new ways to construct a sense of community have all contributed to the current state of social life.
In this post I will be discussing the evolution of technology theory and how it relates to social construction of technology. Social construction of technology can be defined as the process of creating a “meaningful discourse” by any means. It is an important part of social criticism and its use in media, culture, and politics. It also states that there is value in this discourse because it is a chance for people to try to find meaning outside of their preconceived notions. The jargon used in this post may be confusing at first but will be clear as you progress due study.
