The Social Construction of Reality...

There is no argument when it comes to one of the best T.V. shows ever made. F.R.I.E.N.D.S. has changed a lot in the real world. The once great Chandler Bing said, "You just sit there stewing in your own filth," referring to taking a bath. Once Sal brought up the Social Construction of Reality and how the Japanese think it's insane that we don't shower or wash off before our baths, I thought of the episode where Chandler Takes A Bath. He is resistant at first to taking one because he, himself, thinks it is gross and disgusting to sit in your own filth, just like we think spitting in public like the Japanese do is wrong and repulsive. But once Chandler did try to take a bath, he realized that is relaxing and melts your stress away. If the Japanese and us Americans changed places for a day, we would see the world in a whole new different way. From their point of view and how their society has affected them in life, they perceive us and our antics out of this world, same goes for us on how we view their ways. It is unique and interesting from looking at their point of view on us to see that how we do take baths is actually sort of  gross. By how we get grossed out by the spitting on a spoon is the exact same way. The society that we live in has changed our way of thinking and our lives. By simply changing a few things here and there can reconstruct a new reality in life and maybe be more different. For me I felt the same way as Chandler when he thought it was disgusting, but it is the way society has made it 'weird' to do so. So by changing your everyday routine and make some changes here and there that wouldn't be normal by society or you, do it and now you've created your own new reality.
