The social construction of gender is a theory in the humanities and social sciences about the manifestation of cultural origins, mechanisms, and corollaries of gender perception and expression in the context of interpersonal and group social interaction. Specifically, the social construction of gender theory stipulates that gender roles are an achieved "status" in a social environment, which implicitly and explicitly categorize people and therefore motivate social behaviors. 2, record 1, English, - social%20construction%20of%20gender

Nos modèles sociaux reposent sur l'acceptation par chaque salarié cotisant ou citoyen contribuable d'une participation à un pot commun sur lequel s'appuient les mécanismes de sécurité sociale et l'accès à des services publics gratuits comme l'hôpital ou l'école. Ils sont une construction sociale consolidée de longue lutte par ce qu'on appelait jadis le mouvement ouvrier. 2, record 2, French, - construction%20sociale

The social construction of illness is a major research perspective in medical sociology. ... First, some illnesses are particularly embedded with cultural meaning – which is not directly derived from the nature of the condition – that shapes how society responds to those afflicted and influences the experience of that illness. Second, all illnesses are socially constructed at the experiential level, based on how individuals come to understand and live with their illness. Third, medical knowledge about illness and disease is not necessarily given by nature but is constructed and developed by claims-makers and interested parties. 1, record 3, English, - social%20construction%20of%20illness
