What are the differences between Materialism and Constructivism?
Materialism – Everything originates from the most basic things. For example: social norms are implemented as a RESULT of the interactions between different parts of the society in question. Constructivism – Everything results from the choice to deal with a situation. For example: social norms are implemented as a CHOICE (out of many possible choices) to deal with the interactions between different parts of the society in question. Materialism puts the responsibility for changes and improvements in society on the original way nature is set up, making it an unconditional cause-consequence linear process. Constructivism acknowledges the ability of the different parts of nature to intervene on this linear process, allowing it to split into many possible variants.
