Race

        Today we talked about race. I never really thought about it before but I was really interested to hear that race is actually not biological. The word "race" is not something that actually exists, but that each culture creates differently. All it is is a social construction of reality, a social "norm". "Race" changes with each place you go. For example in other countries  they have over 100 different names for their classification of "races" while a country like America has much less. If race can change with each culture you go to, then there is no way that race can be genetic even though many think that their culture "norms" are genetically correct. This relates specifically to my life specifically because I never really thought about race not being biological. I always thought that you are born with that one specific race and you are that one race wherever you go. To know that "race" changes throughout cultures is really interesting and is important to know that you cannot just place people into certain categories.
