SOC 308 Week 1 DQ 1 Constructing
Race Constructing Race. Review the PBS
website RACE The Power of an Illusion as you
prepare for this discussion. This site offers
many examples of how the science of human
difference contradicts ordinary ideas of race. As
we see in the readings and in this website, race
is socially constructed, a system of thought and
human behavior not directly based on nature,
instead resulting from social ideas and
practices. In other words, race exists because
people believe it is real and important.
